Ezekiel 27:31-32

Context

27:31 they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth,

and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning. 1 

27:32 As they wail they will lament over you, chanting:

“Who was like Tyre, like a tower 2  in the midst of the sea?”

1 tn Heb “and they will weep concerning you with bitterness of soul, (with) bitter mourning.”

2 tn As it stands, the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The translation follows the suggestion of M. Dahood, “Accadian-Ugaritic dmt in Ezekiel 27:32,” Bib 45 (1964): 83-84. Several other explanations and emendations have been offered. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:83, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:85-86, for a list of options.
