Ezechiele 27:33 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:33

When thy wares went forth out of the seas
When they were took out of ships, which came to Tyre from all parts, and were landed on the shore, and put up in warehouses, and exposed in markets and The Targum is,

``when thy merchandise went out from among the nations;''

being brought from all parts thither: thou filledst many people;
by selling them in their markets commodities they wanted, for which they came from all quarters; and by sending them to others in ships, where they knew they stood in need of them, and would fetch them a good price; and they had enough to answer the demands of all, and to supply them to the full: thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy
riches and pithy merchandise;
by taking off the goods of their subjects, whereby they were able the better to pay their taxes, and support them in their grandeur and dignity; as well as by furnishing them gold and silver, and precious stones, which they gave for the produce of their country; or by the toll and custom of the goods imported or exported.

31 E per te si dipeleranno, e si cingeranno di sacchi, e piangeranno per te con amaritudine d’animo, con amaro cordoglio.

33 All’uscir delle tue fiere per mare, tu saziavi molti popoli; tu arricchivi i re della terra per l’abbondanza delle tue ricchezze, e del tuo commercio.

34 Nel tempo che tu sei stata rotta dal mare, nelle profondità delle acque, la tua mercatanzia, e tutto il tuo popolo son caduti in mezzo di te.

35 Tutti gli abitanti delle isole sono stati attoniti di te, e i loro re ne hanno avuto orrore, e ne sono stati conturbati in faccia.
