Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Ezekiel 27:30

Against thee. — Rather, over thee. The commercial nations were not inimical to Tyre, but rather caused their wail for her to be heard over the seas where she had been engulphed. The usual signs of mourning are poetically attributed to them (Ezekiel 27:30), and then a dirge is put in their mouths (Ezekiel 27:32).
