"All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their countenance." — Ezekiel 27:35 (ASV)
All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee ,
&c.] Both near and afar off; and not only the inhabitants of the isles, properly so called, but all that dwelt on the continent by the seaside; who would all be amazed when they heard of the ruin of Tyro, which they thought inexpugnable, by reason of its natural and artificial strength:
and their kings shall be sore afraid ;
that it will be their turn next; and as well knowing that they were less able to contend with so mighty a monarch as the king of Babylon, or Alexander the great, than Tyre was; see (Revelation 18:9Revelation 18:10):
they shall be troubled in their countenance ;
their inward passions of grief and fear shall be seen in their countenances; which will wax pale, be dejected, distorted, and furrowed.
