This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thy riches; not the vast treasures of the public, nor the great wealth of private citizens, shall purchase Tyre a continued prosperity.
Thy fairs; these shall be interrupted by the siege, and none that frequented them shall prevail for access to them.
Thy merchandise; the stock of goods of all sorts now in thy warehouses, and what thou hast trusted out.
Thy mariners, & c.: see Eze_27:8-11.
All thy company; all that are men fit for war in the multitudes of people that are in thee, or all thy own citizens that are thy militia, trained bands, or artillery company.
Shall fall: it is plural, these all shall at once fall together. The midst of the seas: see Eze_27:26.
In the day; the time indeed was long preparing for the fall, but a day finished it.
Ruin; utter desolation.
