Ezekiel 27:35

35 Now the inhabitants of the coastlands shudder on account of you. And as for their kings, their hair stands on end; their faces betray their horror.

Ezekiel 27:35 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:35

All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee,
&c.] Both near and afar off; and not only the inhabitants of the isles, properly so called, but all that dwelt on the continent by the seaside; who would all be amazed when they heard of the ruin of Tyro, which they thought inexpugnable, by reason of its natural and artificial strength: and their kings shall be sore afraid;
that it will be their turn next; and as well knowing that they were less able to contend with so mighty a monarch as the king of Babylon, or Alexander the great, than Tyre was; see ( Revelation 18:9 Revelation 18:10 ) : they shall be troubled in their countenance;
their inward passions of grief and fear shall be seen in their countenances; which will wax pale, be dejected, distorted, and furrowed.

Ezekiel 27:35 In-Context

33 When your wares came out from the seas, you satisfied many people. Your abundant wealth and merchandise enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are shattered by the seas; your cargoes, as well as everyone in your company, are sunk into the water's depths.
35 Now the inhabitants of the coastlands shudder on account of you. And as for their kings, their hair stands on end; their faces betray their horror.
36 The merchants for the peoples hiss because of you. You have become a terror; from now on you are nothing.
