EZEKIEL 27:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.”
When your wares went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with your great wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth, reflecting on Tyre's past magnificence even as she lies destroyed. The retrospective acknowledgment that Tyre 'enriched the kings of the earth' demonstrates that her commercial power had made her essential to the global economy. The lament grieves not merely for Tyre but for the interruption of the commercial networks that depended on her.
