In the context of <a href="/ezekiel/27.htm">Ezekiel 27</a>, the prophecy is against Tyre, a major Phoenician city known for its wealth and maritime prowess. The "countryside" refers to the regions surrounding Tyre, which would be affected by its downfall. Historically, Tyre's influence extended far beyond its city walls, impacting trade and politics in the Mediterranean. The shaking of the countryside symbolizes the widespread repercussions of Tyre's destruction, akin to an earthquake affecting distant lands. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages where the fall of a great city or nation causes turmoil in surrounding areas (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/13-13.htm">Isaiah 13:13</a>).<p><b>when your sailors cry out</b><br>The sailors represent those who manned the ships of Tyre, which was renowned for its maritime trade. Their cry signifies distress and lamentation over the loss of their livelihood and the destruction of their city. In ancient times, sailors were crucial to the economy of port cities like Tyre, facilitating trade across the Mediterranean. The cry of the sailors can be seen as a metaphor for the broader economic and social collapse resulting from Tyre's fall. This imagery is echoed in <a href="/revelation/18-17.htm">Revelation 18:17-19</a>, where the fall of Babylon is lamented by shipmasters and sailors, highlighting the interconnectedness of commerce and the far-reaching impact of such a collapse. The sailors' cry also serves as a warning of judgment, a common theme in prophetic literature, emphasizing the consequences of pride and reliance on wealth.<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 to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
