Context of Ezekiel 27:35
33‘When your wares went out by sea, You satisfied many people; You enriched the kings of the earth With your many luxury goods and your merchandise. 34But you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters; Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst. All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you; Their kings will be greatly afraid, And their countenance will be troubled. 36The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you; You will become a horror, and be no more forever.’ ” ’ ”
