"large volume of trade"

Yahweh speaks of the king of Tyre as if he were a container that was filled up with violence.

Alternate translation: "you and your people became completely violent" or "you and your peoplewere completely violent" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
