Ezequiel 27:26

26 Seus remadores a levampara alto-mar.Mas o vento oriental a despedaçaráno coração do mar.

Ezequiel 27:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:26

Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters
Here the city of Tyre is compared to a vessel at sea, with great propriety, it being built in the sea, and its trade chiefly there; and its rulers and governors, or the inhabitants of it, to rowers; literally the men of Zidon and Arvad were her rowers, ( Ezekiel 27:8 ) , the straits, difficulties, and distresses these brought Tyre into, are compared to great waters; who, by some unadvised step or another, provoked the king of Babylon to come against them with his army, and lay siege unto them: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas;
a wind very fatal to ships and mariners; see ( Psalms 48:7 ) , by it are meant Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldean army; so called, because of their great force and fury; and because Babylon, from whence they came, lay somewhat to the east of Tyre. So the Targum,

``a king who is strong as the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.''

Ezequiel 27:26 In-Context

24 No seu mercado eles negociaram com você lindas roupas, tecido azul, trabalhos bordados e tapetes multicoloridos com cordéis retorcidos e de nós firmes.

25 “Os navios de Társistransportam os seus bens.Quanta carga pesada você temno coração do mar.

26 Seus remadores a levampara alto-mar.Mas o vento oriental a despedaçaráno coração do mar.

27 Sua riqueza, suas mercadorias e seus bens,seus marujos, seus homens do mar e seus construtores de barcos,seus mercadores e todos os seus soldados,todos quantos estão a bordosucumbirão no coração do marno dia do seu naufrágio.

28 As praias tremerãoquando os seus marujos clamarem.
