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.''
