Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 27:36

"The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being." — Ezekiel 27:36 (ASV)

Shall hiss at you. —In Ezekiel 27:35, the prophet again drops the figure of the ship and, looking forward (Ezekiel 26:12–14) to the end, speaks of the final and utter overthrow which shall come upon Tyre. The word hiss is used, as in Isaiah 5:26, Isaiah 7:18, Zechariah 10:8, and other passages, in the sense of calling for. The prophet tells us that the people who have had commercial connections with Tyre shall call for her in vain; she shall be (not a terror, but, as in Ezekiel 26:21) a sudden destruction, and shall not be forever.
