Ezequiel 27:26

26 'A muchas aguas te condujeron tus remeros; el viento solano te destrozó en el corazón de los mares.

Ezequiel 27:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:26

Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters
Here the city of Tyre is compared to a vessel at sea, with great propriety, it being built in the sea, and its trade chiefly there; and its rulers and governors, or the inhabitants of it, to rowers; literally the men of Zidon and Arvad were her rowers, ( Ezekiel 27:8 ) , the straits, difficulties, and distresses these brought Tyre into, are compared to great waters; who, by some unadvised step or another, provoked the king of Babylon to come against them with his army, and lay siege unto them: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas;
a wind very fatal to ships and mariners; see ( Psalms 48:7 ) , by it are meant Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldean army; so called, because of their great force and fury; and because Babylon, from whence they came, lay somewhat to the east of Tyre. So the Targum,

``a king who is strong as the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.''

Ezequiel 27:26 In-Context

25 'Las naves de Tarsis eran las portadoras de tus productos. Fuiste repleta y muy gloriosa en el corazón de los mares.

26 'A muchas aguas te condujeron tus remeros; el viento solano te destrozó en el corazón de los mares.

27 'Tus riquezas, tus mercancías, tu comercio, tus marineros y tus pilotos, tus calafates, tus agentes comerciales, y todos los hombres de guerra que hay en ti, con toda tu tripulación que en medio de ti está, caerán en el corazón de los mares el día de tu derrota.

28 'A la voz del grito de tus pilotos se estremecerán las praderas.
