Ezekiel 27:34

Money and wealth

32 As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: ‘Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?

33 When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.

Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.

35 All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.

36 Those who trade among the nations hiss at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
