30 They will raise their voice and cry bitterly over you; they will sprinkle dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
30 and shout aloud over you and cry out bitterly. They cast dust on their heads and wallow in ashes;
30 They cry out in grief, a choir of bitter lament over you. They smear their faces with ashes,
30 They will make their voice heard because of you; They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads; They will roll about in ashes;
30 They cry aloud over you and weep bitterly. They throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:30
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.
