Ezekiel 27:35 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:35

All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee,
&c.] Both near and afar off; and not only the inhabitants of the isles, properly so called, but all that dwelt on the continent by the seaside; who would all be amazed when they heard of the ruin of Tyro, which they thought inexpugnable, by reason of its natural and artificial strength: and their kings shall be sore afraid;
that it will be their turn next; and as well knowing that they were less able to contend with so mighty a monarch as the king of Babylon, or Alexander the great, than Tyre was; see ( Revelation 18:9 Revelation 18:10 ) : they shall be troubled in their countenance;
their inward passions of grief and fear shall be seen in their countenances; which will wax pale, be dejected, distorted, and furrowed.

Ezekiel 27:35 In-Context

33 Your goods went out on the seas. You supplied many nations with what they needed. You had so much wealth and so many products. You made the kings of the earth rich.
34 Now the sea has torn you apart. You have sunk deep down into it. Your products and all of your people have gone down with you.
35 All those who live in the lands along the coast are shocked because of what has happened to you. Their kings tremble with fear. Their faces are twisted in horror.
36 The traders among the nations hiss at you. You have come to a horrible end. And you will be gone forever." ' "
