Ezekiel 27:36
34 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.
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.
