Ezekiel 27:28 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:28

The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy
pilots.
] Or governors, as the Targum; and so the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions: the allegory of a ship wrecked is still continued: the sense is, that such should be the cry of the principal men of the city when it should be taken, that the noise of it would be heard upon the continent, and in the towns and villages belonging to Tyre, which would make the inhabitants of them tremble: or, at the sound of the cry of thy pilots the waves are moved,
or "tremble" ^F7; which beat very strong at the time of her fall into the sea.

Ezekiel 27:28 In-Context

26 " 'Into many waters the rowers brought you; [but] {the east wind} wrecked you in [the] heart of [the] seas.

27 Your wealth and your merchandise, your wares, your mariners, and your seamen, your shipwrights and the barterers of your wares and all of {your soldiers} who [are] in you, along with all of your crew who are in the midst of you, they will fall in [the] heart of [the] seas on the day of your downfall.

28 At the sound of the shout of your seamen, [the] pasturelands will shake.

29 And they will go down from their ships, all of [those] holding an oar, mariners, all of the seamen of the sea will stand on the land,

30 and they will lament over you with their voice, and they will cry out bitterly, and they will throw dust on their heads, [and] they will roll in the dust.
