エゼキエル書 27:26-28 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:26

Great waters of affliction. The troubles that are to overtake Tyro in the Chaldean invasion are compared by the prophet to a sea of great waters into which the rowers have brought the ship—an image that would come home to a maritime people. I. SOULS MAY HAVE TO ENCOUNTER GREAT WATERS OF AFFLICTION . 1. Their troubles are multitudinous . People talk of "a sea of troubles," referring to the number of distresses that they have met with. 2. Their troubles are ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:26-27

National shipwreck. The metaphor employed in this passage by the poet-prophet is peculiarly appropriate. What so fitted to represent the maritime city Tyre as a gallant ship? In figurative language Ezekiel pictures the stateliness and prosperity, followed by the wreck and destruction, of the famous mistress of the seas. I. TYRE IN ITS PROSPERITY IS LIKE A MAJESTIC AND RICHLY LADEN GALLEY . Commerce and wealth, maritime and military greatness, are characteristic of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:28

The suburbs. The word is so translated in Ezekiel 45:2 , and Ezekiel 48:17 , and is used of the pasture-lands round the cities of refuge in Numbers 35:2 . Here it is probably used in a wider sense for the coast-lands of Phoenicia, or even for the "waves" that washed the shores of the island-city. The Vulgate gives classes (equivalent to "fleets"). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:28-36

The bewailing of the city. Very picturesque and impressive is this representation of the effect produced upon the nations by the fall of Tyre. So world-wide was the city's commerce, that no people, however distant, could be unaffected by the catastrophe; and so awful was its fate, that no sensitive mind could contemplate it unmoved. To the vision of the prophet-poet, the galley labors and strains, and at last sinks in the waters of the Mediterranean. The dwellers upon the land and those... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 27:26

Ezekiel 27:26. Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters The prophet here begins to change the subject, and now, in metaphorical language, speaks of the danger into which the rulers and statesmen of Tyre had brought her by their pride and ill-concerted measures. He compares her to a ship, impelled by its own rowers into a very tempestuous sea, by which is meant their war with the Chaldeans. See a similar comparison Isaiah 33:23. Great troubles are frequently signified by great waters. ... read more

Ezekiel 27:27-32. Thy riches, &c., and all thy company, shall fall into the midst of the seas Shall be as utterly ruined and destroyed as if they were sunk in the sea by a shipwreck. Or, this may signify their falling in a sea- fight. The suburbs shall shake, &c. The cry of thy wounded seamen shall make the inhabitants of the suburbs shake for fear: See Ezekiel 26:15. The mariners, &c., shall come down from their ships Seafaring men, finding no encouragement to follow their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36

Mourning for Tyre (27:1-36)This chapter continues the theme of Tyre’s overthrow. It is in the form of a funeral song that Tyre’s trading partners sing as they mourn the city’s death (27:1-2).The song begins by recalling the glory of Tyre’s past. The prosperous commercial city is likened to a magnificent merchant ship, beautifully made from best quality materials taken from all parts of the trading world. Her planks, masts, oars and decking were made of the best timbers, her sails from the... read more
