EZEKIEL 27:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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?”
In their wailing they raise a lamentation for you and lament over you: 'Who is like Tyre, like one destroyed in the midst of the sea? introducing a formal lament that expresses the uniqueness of Tyre's destruction. The rhetorical question 'Who is like Tyre?' conveys both the unparalleled greatness of her former state and the unparalleled scope of her destruction. The lament inverts the earlier boast of perfection, making destruction equally perfect and comprehensive.
