Ezekiel 27:32

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And in their wailing they shall takes up a lamentation for thee,.... A mournful song, such as was used at funerals, or in times of calamity; and so the Vulgate Latin version renders it:and lament over thee; saying the following ditty;what city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?

as there was none like it a few years ago for riches, splendour, and glory, so now there is none like it for misery and ruin; see Re 18:18. The Targum is,"who is as Tyre?
