Ezekiel 27:26 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters - Tyre is still considered under the allegory of a ship; and all the vessels of different nations trading with her are represented as towing her into deep waters - bringing her into great affluence. But while in this state, a stormy east wind, or a destructive wind, meaning the Chaldeans, arises, and dashes her to pieces! See the ode from Horace, already quoted on Ezekiel 27:4 (note).
