The Meaning of the "Hiss"
Commentators offer two views on why merchants "hiss" at the fallen Tyre. One common view is that it's a hiss of scorn, as rivals rejoice in Tyre's downfall to seize its trade. Another interpretation suggests "hiss" means "to call for," implying former trading partners are calling out in vain for the city that has vanished, highlighting its sudden and complete destruction.
