The miserable overthrow of Tyre15. Her restoration and unfaithfulness Wail The Hebrew word for "wail" is "הֵילִילוּ" (heililu), which is an imperative form, calling for a loud lamentation or mourning. In the context of ancient Israel, wailing was a common expression of deep sorrow or distress, often associated with the loss of life or significant calamity. Here, it signifies the profound impact of Tyre's destruction on those who depended on it. The call to wail is not just a suggestion but a command, emphasizing the severity of the situation. This reflects the broader biblical theme of repentance and recognition of God's sovereignty, urging the people to acknowledge the divine judgment that has come upon them.
