In the time when thou shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters. &c.] By the Chaldean army, which came upon them like the waves of the sea, (<262603>Ezekiel 26:3) by which they were overpowered and destroyed; just as a ship on the mighty waters is dashed and broke to pieces by the waves thereof: thy merchandise, and all thy company in the midst of thee, shall fall; trade shall cease, and the mixed multitude of traders from all parts shall be seen no more; the natives of the place shall perish; mariners and soldiers, and persons of every rank and degree, age, and sex. The Targum renders it, “all thine armies.” Abendana suggests that this respects the destruction of Tyre by Alexander the great.
