28 The shorelands will quake when your sailors cry out.
28 The suburbs
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots the countryside shakes,
28 The cries of your sailors reverberate on shore.
28 The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.
28 Your cities by the sea tremble as your pilots cry out in terror.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:28
Commentary on Ezekiel 27:26-36
(Read Ezekiel 27:26-36)
The most mighty and magnificent kingdoms and states, sooner or later, come down. Those who make creatures their confidence, and rest their hopes upon them, will fall with them: happy are those who have the God of Jacob for their Help, and whose hope is in the Lord their God, who lives for ever. Those who engage in trade should learn to conduct their business according to God's word. Those who possess wealth should remember they are the Lord's stewards, and should use his goods in doing good to all. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
