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 The sailors who man your oars take you out to the high seas. But the east wind will break you in pieces in the middle of the sea.

27 You will be wrecked on that day. Your wealth, goods and products will sink deep into the sea. So will your sailors, officers, carpenters, traders and all of your soldiers. Anyone else on board will sink too.

28 The lands along the coast will shake when your officers cry out.

29 All those who man the oars will desert their ships. The sailors and all of the officers will stand on the shore.

30 They will raise their voices. They will cry bitterly over you. They will sprinkle dust on their heads. They will roll in ashes.
