The Septuagint and Arabic versions understand the first clause of their taking their mitres, or diadems, from their heads:<\/p>\n they shall clothe themselves with trembling<\/strong>; they shall tremble from head to foot in every joint, as if they were covered with it, as with a garment; or, being clothed with sackcloth, as mourners used to be, shall shake and tremble, being used to other and better clothing:<\/p>\n they shall sit upon the ground<\/strong>; as Job did, and his friends, with dust and ashes on their heads, as persons in distress were wont to do, Job 2:8<\/span>:<\/p>\n and shall tremble at every moment<\/strong>; continually, every hour, minute, and moment of the day: or, “at the breaches” o; so Jarchi; that is, those made upon Tyre; fearing lest the same should be made upon them; so the Targum, “because of their breaches”; or at the ruin and destruction they fear will be their case also:<\/p>\n and be astonished at thee<\/strong>; that a city so wealthy and mighty should be brought so low; see Re 18:9<\/span>.<\/p>\n o “super repentino casu suo”, V. L.<\/p>\n (16) Princes of the sea.<\/strong>Or, as we should say, merchant princes. <\/em>(Comp. Isa. 23:8<\/span>.) Actual sovereigns are not meant, but those raised by commerce to wealth and power. Their astonishment and grief is poetically described under the figure of the customs of Oriental mourning. (Comp. Jon. 3:6<\/span>.) Thrones should rather be translated seats, <\/em>as in Jdg. 3:20<\/span>; 1Sa. 1:9<\/span>; 1Sa. 4:13<\/span>; 1Sa. 4:18<\/span>.<\/p>\n Eze 26:16-17<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Then all the princes of the sea, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> That is, “All the princes and rich merchants of Sidon, Carthage, and other maritime cities, who traded with Tyre, shall express a deep concern for her misfortune.” Houbigant reads the 17th verse thus, How is she destroyed, who hath been<\/em> so long inhabited! the renowned city, whose defence was the sea, and whose citizens struck terror upon all who inhabit the earth! <\/em>Tyre was famous for the strength of its situation, which was on the sea-shore; but the insular Tyre, as well as that on the continent, is included in this prophesy. They are both spoken of as one and the same city; part built on the continent, and part on an adjoining island. See Bishop Newton’s Dissertations, vol. 1: <\/p>\n Eze 26:16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee.<\/p>\n Ver. 16.

Princes of the sea refers to the merchants of Tyrus whose traffic was conducted on the sea. In Isa 23:8 they are spoken of as such where the passage says “whose merchants are princes.” Thrones and robes are figurative and so used in view of the control that the merchants of Tyrus had over the sea traffic. In the place of such gorgeous or showy garments they were to wear those of trembling. That will be caused by the attack of the nation that God will bring against them.<\/p>\n 26:16 Then all the princes of the {g} sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee.<\/p>\n (g) The governors and rulers of other countries that dwell by the sea: by which he signifies that her destruction would be so horrible that all the world would hear of it and be afraid.<\/p>\n Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee. 16.
