Ezekiel 27:26 - Exposition

Thy rowers have brought thee . The metaphor goes on its course. The state-ship is in the open sea, and the east wind, the Euroclydon of the Mediterranean ( Acts 27:14 ), blows and threatens it with destruction (comp. Psalms 48:7 ). In that destruction all who contributed to her prosperity were involved. The picture reminds us of the description of the ship of Tarshish in Jonah 1:4 , Jonah 1:5 . The city shall be left, in that terrible day , in the heart of the seas (Revised Version).
