Ezekiel 27:34 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:34

In the time when thou shall be broken by the seas in the
depths of the waters.
&c.] By the Chaldean army, which came upon them like the waves of the sea, ( Ezekiel 26:3 ) by which they were overpowered and destroyed; just as a ship on the mighty waters is dashed and broke to pieces by the waves thereof: thy merchandise, and all thy company in the midst of thee, shall fall;
trade shall cease, and the mixed multitude of traders from all parts shall be seen no more; the natives of the place shall perish; mariners and soldiers, and persons of every rank and degree, age, and sex. The Targum renders it,

``all thine armies.''

Abendana suggests that this respects the destruction of Tyre by Alexander the great.

Ezekiel 27:34 In-Context

32 They sang a funeral song for you with loud crying: "Who is like Tyre, the city destroyed in the sea?"

33 Your merchandise was sent overseas. You filled many people with your great wealth and your goods. You made the kings of the earth rich.

34 Now you are wrecked in the sea, at the bottom of the sea. Your goods and your whole crew sank with you.

35 All those who live on the coasts are horrified because of you. Their kings are terribly afraid. Their faces show their fear.

36 The merchants among the nations laugh at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will never exist again.'"
