31They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and bitter mourning. 32As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: ‘Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?Cross References

Ezekiel 27:30 Summary
[Ezekiel 27:30 describes a scene of intense mourning and sorrow, as the sailors cry out and throw dust on their heads, showing just how devastating the fall of Tyre was to those who depended on it. This verse reminds us that our actions have consequences, and that God is sovereign over all things, as stated in Psalm 135:6. The sailors' response to the fall of Tyre teaches us about the importance of humility and repentance, and the need to trust in God's goodness and mercy, as expressed in Psalm 23:4. As we reflect on this verse, we can ask ourselves what things in our lives we need to mourn and let go of, and how we can trust in God's sovereignty, even in difficult times.]
Frequently Asked Questions

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:30
Ezekiel 27:30 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:Ver. 30. To be heard against thee.] Or, For thee, or over thee.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:30
(30) Against thee.—Rather, over thee. The commercial nations were not inimical to Tyre, but rather caused their wail for her to be heard over the seas where she had been engulphed. The usual signs of mourning are poetically attributed to them (Ezekiel 27:30-31), and then a dirge is put in their mouths (Ezekiel 27:32-34).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:30
Verse 30. Shall cry bitterly] All that were on the land, seeing this dreadful sight, a gallant ship perishing with all her men and goods, are represented as setting up a dismal cry at this heart-rending sight. But what must they have felt who were on board? Reader, wert thou ever shipwrecked? Wert thou ever in a hurricane on a lee rocky shore, where the helm had lost its power, and the sails were rendered useless? Dost thou remember that apparently last moment, when the ship drove up to the tremendous rocks, riding on the back of a mountainous surge? Then what was the universal cry? Hast thou ever heard any thing so terrific? so appalling? so death and judgment-like? No. It is impossible.
These are the circumstances, this is the cry, that the prophet describes; disorder, confusion, dismay, and ruin. And this is a scene which the present writer has witnessed, himself a part of the wretched, when all hope of life was taken away, the yawning gulf opened, and nothing presented itself to support body or soul but that GOD who gave to both their being, and ultimately rescued him and his forlorn companions from one of the worst of deaths, by heaving the ship from the rocks by the agency of a tremendous receding wave. My soul hath these things still in remembrance, and therefore is humbled within me.
