Ezekiel 27:30 — Meaning and Application

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.

And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, {saying}, What {city is} like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
