Ezekiel27:29
29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea; shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land.
In the Allegory of a miserable shipwrack, the Prophet sets forth Tyrus fall, and in this verse he represents them all shifting out of the shattered sinking Ship, in great confusion, and greater fear, the Slaves quit the Oars, the mariners throw up the Tacklings, Pilots leave the Helm, a[illegible: 1 letter]l make for the long Boat, and the Land, where they bewail their undone condition. Or, it may be more literally understood thus, all Seafaring men, who got their living by service done for Tyrus at Sea, seeing her utterly broken, shall leave the Ships, get to Land, that elsewhere they may get employment, or by a timely flight save themselves, and bewail their old Masters fall.
