Ezekiel 27:29 — Meaning and Application

Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that {are} in thee, and in all thy company which {is} in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. {and in...: or, even with all} {midst of the seas: Heb. heart, etc}

The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. {suburbs: or, waves}

And all that handle the oar, the mariners, {and} all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;

And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:

And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart {and} bitter wailing.
