Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 27:26

26 ¶ Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters : the east-wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas .

Thy Governours and Counsellors.

Unadvisedly.

Dangers and difficulties, in which thou art like to be shipwrackt, in which thou wilt perish.

Which is very tempestuous, and dangerous to Ships in those Seas; by this is meant the King of Babylon with his Army, whose march was somewhat by East to Tyre.

As surely will, as if he had already done it, he hath broken, it is the Prophetick stile.

Where thou art far from shoar, and must therefore sink and drown, or where thou thoughtest thy self impregnable.

Where many Seas meer, 'tis impossible for a half starved Creature to swim out, so shall Tyrus perish in the violent currents of many Seas, many Nations fierce, and cruel under Nebuchadnezzar shall swallow thee up.
