EZEKIEL 27:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.”
Now you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your company have sunk with you, contrasting her former status with present annihilation, with the sea that once elevated her now burying her. The phrase 'broken by the seas' inverts the image of maritime mastery, suggesting that the sea itself becomes the agent of Tyre's destruction. The sinking of merchandise alongside the city emphasizes that material wealth cannot ensure survival.
