Ezekiel 27:36The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you are become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.
The setting
Future merchants, ~580 BC onward. Where Tyre's markets once buzzed with activity, traders now pass by and whistle in mockery at the ruins.
The emotion here: delivering God's final word with the weight of irreversible judgment
The original word
sharaq (שָׁרַק) — to hiss or whistle in scorn, the sound of contempt merchants make at failed ventures
Why it matters
Alexander the Great built a causeway to Tyre in 332 BC using rubble from the mainland city
