All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee,
&c.] Both near and afar off; and not only the inhabitants of the isles, properly so called, but all that dwelt on the continent by the seaside; who would all be amazed when they heard of the ruin of Tyro, which they thought inexpugnable, by reason of its natural and artificial strength: and their kings shall be sore afraid;
that it will be their turn next; and as well knowing that they were less able to contend with so mighty a monarch as the king of Babylon, or Alexander the great, than Tyre was; see ( Revelation 18:9 Revelation 18:10 ) : they shall be troubled in their countenance;
their inward passions of grief and fear shall be seen in their countenances; which will wax pale, be dejected, distorted, and furrowed.
