Ezekiel 27:26

The vessel steered by her pilots into dangerous waters, is shipwrecked and her cargo and crew cast into the sea (Ezekiel 27:26). Dismay and lamentation of all seafaring men (Ezekiel 27:28)

26. The allegory does not need interpretation. How far her statesmen precipitated the fall of Tyre is unknown; it was the east-wind that broke her in the heart of the sea a force above that of men (Psalms 48:7).
