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 merchandise was unloaded from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and goods.

34 Now you are shattered by the sea in the depths of the waters; your goods and the people within you have gone down.

35 All the inhabitants of the coasts and islands are appalled at you. Their kings shudder with fear; [their] faces are contorted.

36 Those who trade among the peoples hiss at you; you have become an object of horror and will never exist again."
