Your rowers have brought you into great waters; the east wind has broken you in the midst of the sea, introducing the sudden shift from commercial glory to nautical disaster. The 'east wind' (ruah qadim) evokes both natural disaster (sudden storms) and divine judgment (the east wind as instrument of God's will in other biblical narratives). This transition from description to action marks the moment when Tyre's commercial network becomes the mechanism of her destruction.
