Context of Ezekiel 27:30

28At the sound of your captains’ cry the waves will surge; 29They will descend from their ships – all who handle the oar, the sailors and all the sea captains – they will stand on the land. They will lament loudly over you and cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes; 31they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth, and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning. 32As they wail they will lament over you, chanting: “Who was like Tyre, like a tower in the midst of the sea?”

Both end with the same message: Tyre has come to a terrible end and will exist no more (compare Ezekiel 26:21).Read the comment
