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 Your oarsmen brought you into many waters, But the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas.

27 "Your riches, wares, and merchandise, Your mariners and pilots, Your caulkers and merchandisers, All your men of war who are in you, And the entire company which is in your midst, Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.

28 The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.

29 "All who handle the oar, The mariners, All the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships and stand on the shore.

30 They will make their voice heard because of you; They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads; They will roll about in ashes;
