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 in aquis multis adduxerunt te remiges tui ventus auster contrivit te in corde maris
27 divitiae tuae et thesauri tui et multiplex instrumentum tuum nautae tui et gubernatores tui qui tenebant supellectilem tuam et populo tuo praeerant viri quoque bellatores tui qui erant in te cum universa multitudine tua quae est in medio tui cadent in corde maris in die ruinae tuae
28 a sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes
29 et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum nautae et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt
30 et heiulabunt super te voce magna et clamabunt amare et superiacient pulverem capitibus suis et cinere conspergentur
