When they were took out of ships, which came to Tyre from all parts, and were landed on the shore, and put up in warehouses, and exposed in markets and The Targum is,

``when thy merchandise went out from among the nations;''

being brought from all parts thither: thou filledst many people;
by selling them in their markets commodities they wanted, for which they came from all quarters; and by sending them to others in ships, where they knew they stood in need of them, and would fetch them a good price; and they had enough to answer the demands of all, and to supply them to the full: thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy
riches and pithy merchandise;
by taking off the goods of their subjects, whereby they were able the better to pay their taxes, and support them in their grandeur and dignity; as well as by furnishing them gold and silver, and precious stones, which they gave for the produce of their country; or by the toll and custom of the goods imported or exported.

Ezequiel 27:33 In-Context

31 Y se raerán por ti los cabellos, y se ceñirán de cilicio, y endecharán por ti endechas amargas, con amargura de alma.

32 Y levantarán sobre ti endechas en sus lamentaciones, y endecharán sobre ti diciendo : ¿Quién como Tiro, como la destruida en medio del mar?

33 Cuando tus mercaderías salían de los mares, saciabas muchos pueblos; los reyes de la tierra enriqueciste con la multitud de tus riquezas y de tus contrataciones.

34 En el tiempo que serás quebrantada de los mares en lo profundo de las aguas, tu comercio y toda tu compañía caerán en medio de ti.

35 Todos los moradores de las islas se maravillarán sobre ti, y sus reyes temblarán de espanto; demudarán sus rostros.
