Shall fall - These all shall fall together. The suburbs - The suburbs, which are nearest the sea, shall first hear the out - cries of pilots, and mariners. Shall come down - ln the allegory of a miserable shipwreck, the prophet sets forth the fall of Tyre; and in this verse he represents them all shifting out of the sinking ship, in great confusion. Wallow themselves in ashes - As men use to do in their greatest mournings. In the sea - Alas! what was once her safeguard, is now her grave. Went forth - Were landed. Thou filledst - There was enough to supply to the full. By the seas - The Babylonians, that like seas shall swell, roar, and break in upon thee. Troubled - They shall not be able to conceal the discomposure of their mind, but will shew it in their countenance. Shall hiss - Will mock at thy fall.
