Ezekiel 27
1. The riches and commerce of Tyrus
26. The great and irrecoverable fall thereof














All the inhabitants of the coastlands
This phrase refers to the people living in the regions along the Mediterranean Sea, which were heavily involved in trade and commerce during the time of Ezekiel. The Hebrew word for "coastlands" is "אִיִּים" (iyim), which can also mean "islands" or "distant lands." This indicates the far-reaching impact of Tyre's downfall, as Tyre was a major maritime power. The inhabitants of these regions would have been directly affected by the collapse of such a significant trading partner, leading to widespread economic and social repercussions.

are appalled over you
The Hebrew root for "appalled" is "שָׁמֵם" (shamem), which conveys a sense of desolation, horror, and astonishment. This reaction underscores the magnitude of Tyre's fall, as it was unexpected and devastating. The use of this word suggests a deep emotional response, highlighting the shock and awe experienced by those who witnessed or heard of Tyre's destruction. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of human power and the ultimate sovereignty of God over nations.

Their kings shudder with horror
The phrase "shudder with horror" is derived from the Hebrew "חָרַד" (charad), which means to tremble or quake. This reaction from the kings of the coastlands signifies the fear and anxiety that gripped the rulers who had once allied or traded with Tyre. The fall of such a powerful city-state would have been a sobering reminder of their own vulnerability. In a broader theological context, this serves as a warning to all leaders about the dangers of pride and reliance on worldly power rather than on God.

their faces are contorted
The imagery of contorted faces conveys a visceral, physical reaction to the news of Tyre's downfall. The Hebrew word "חֲרָדוֹת" (charadot) implies a twisting or distortion, often associated with fear or anguish. This expression of intense emotion reflects the deep impact of Tyre's destruction on the psyche of those who had placed their trust in its stability and prosperity. It serves as a poignant illustration of the consequences of placing hope in temporal, earthly entities rather than in the eternal, unchanging nature of God.
