32And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, [saying], Who is there like Tyre, like her that is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?
33When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
34In the time that thou wast broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thy company did fall in the midst of thee.
35All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their countenance.
36The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being.

John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, &c.] Both near and afar off; and not only the inhabitants of the isles, properly so called, but all that dwelt on the continent by the seaside; who would all be amazed when they heard of the ruin of Tyro, which they thought inexpugnable, by reason of its natural and artificial strength: and their kings shall be sore afraid; that it will be their turn next; and as well knowing that they were less able to contend with so mighty a monarch as the king of Babylon, or Alexander the great, than Tyre was; (see <661809> Revelation 18:9,10): they shall be troubled in their countenance; their inward passions of grief and fear shall be seen…”
