Tyre was known for its wealth, trade, and strategic location on the Mediterranean coast. The phrase emphasizes the authority of God in delivering judgment, highlighting His sovereignty over nations. Tyre's pride and reliance on its economic power are key themes in the prophetic messages against it.<p><b>Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall:</b><br>The "coastlands" refer to the surrounding regions and nations that engaged in trade with Tyre. The imagery of quaking suggests a profound impact on these areas due to Tyre's fall. This phrase underscores the interconnectedness of ancient economies and the ripple effect of Tyre's destruction. The prophecy indicates that Tyre's downfall would be so significant that it would cause fear and instability among neighboring regions.<p><b>when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?</b><br>This part of the verse paints a vivid picture of the devastation within Tyre. The "wounded groan" signifies the suffering and lamentation of those affected by the city's destruction. Historically, Tyre faced sieges and attacks, notably by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon and later by Alexander the Great. The phrase captures the human cost of divine judgment and serves as a warning against pride and self-reliance. The imagery of slaughter also connects to other biblical themes of judgment and the consequences of sin, as seen in the broader prophetic literature.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered during the Babylonian exile.
