36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.' "
36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.'"
36 The buyers and sellers of the world throw up their hands: This horror can't happen! Oh, this has happened!'"
36 The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you; You will become a horror, and be no more forever.' " ' "
36 The merchants among the nations shake their heads at the sight of you, for you have come to a horrible end and will exist no more.'"

Commentary on Ezekiel 27:26-36
(Read Ezekiel 27:26-36)
The most mighty and magnificent kingdoms and states, sooner or later, come down. Those who make creatures their confidence, and rest their hopes upon them, will fall with them: happy are those who have the God of Jacob for their Help, and whose hope is in the Lord their God, who lives for ever. Those who engage in trade should learn to conduct their business according to God's word. Those who possess wealth should remember they are the Lord's stewards, and should use his goods in doing good to all. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
