Ezechiele 27:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:25

The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in market
The ships of the sea in general; for Tarshish is used for the sea; these from all parts came to Tyre with their several wares, the product of their country from whence they came, and, finding a good market for them at Tyre, spoke greatly in her praise, or, "were thy princes", or "thy chief ones, in thy market" ^F6; these brought the principal things into it, and took off the chief that were in it, which were of the produce of Tyre: and thou wast replenished;
with goods from all parts, with every thing for their necessity, convenience, pleasure, and delight, and to carry on a traffic with all nations: and made very glorious in the midst of the seas;
with great riches, stately towers and buildings. Here ends the account of Tyre's greatness; next follows her ruin and destruction.

Ezechiele 27:25 In-Context

23 Haran, Canné e Eden, i mercati di Sceba, d’Assiria, di Kilmad, trafficano teco;

24 trafficano teco in oggetti di lusso, in mantelli di porpora, in ricami, in casse di stoffe preziose legate con corde, e fatte di cedro.

25 Le navi di Tarsis son la tua flotta per il tuo commercio. Così ti sei riempita, e ti sei grandemente arricchita nel cuore dei mari.

26 I tuoi rematori t’han menata nelle grandi acque; il vento d’oriente s’infrange nel cuore de’ mari.

27 Le tue ricchezze, i tuoi mercati, la tua mercanzia, i tuoi marinai, i tuoi piloti, i tuoi calafati, i tuoi negozianti, tutta la tua gente di guerra ch’è in te, e tutta la moltitudine ch’è in mezzo a te, cadranno nel cuore de’ mari, il giorno della tua rovina.
