The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:2

I am a God . We are reminded of Isaiah's words ( Isaiah 14:13 , Isaiah 14:14 ) as to the King of Babylon. Did Ezekiel emphasize and amplify the boasts of Ethbaal, with a side-glance at the Chaldean king, who also was lifted up in the pride of his heart ( Daniel 4:30 )? For like examples, see the boast of Hophra, in Ezekiel 29:3 ; and the praise given to Herod Agrippa by the Tyrians ( Acts 12:21 ). It is noticeable that St. Paul's description of the man of sin ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:2

A prince's sin. I. GREAT RESPONSIBILITY IS ATTACHED TO HIGH OFFICE . In the two previous chapters the prophet denounced judgment on the city of Tyre, and lamented its approaching accomplishment. Now he turns to the ruler of the city, selecting him for an ugly pre-eminence of guilt. This man is entrusted with the weal of the city. If Tyre is doomed, a heavy share of the blame must lie at his door. It is a fearful thing to be responsible for the fate of so great and splendid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:2

The height of arrogance. In addressing the Prince of Tyre, the prophet is in reality dealing with what may be called the national spirit pervading the proud and mighty city—a spirit regarded as embodying itself in the person of the chief ruler. The claim made by Tyre, and disputed by the prophet, is a claim to virtual divinity. Exalted above other cities, Tyre deems itself superior to human infirmity and to human fortune. This attitude God resents; and his representative here declares it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:3

Thou art wiser than Daniel , etc. There is, of course, a marked irony in the words. Daniel was for Ezekiel—and there seems something singularly humble and pathetic in the prophet's reverence for his contemporary—the ideal at once of righteousness ( Ezekiel 14:14 ) and of wisdom. He was a revealer of the secrets of the future, and read the hearts of men. His fame was spread far and wide through the Chaldean empire. And this was the man with whom the King of Tyro compared himself with a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:3

Wiser than Daniel. I. THE TYPICAL WISDOM OF DANIEL . Evidently this wisdom was proverbial in the days of Ezekiel. The prophet implies that the fame of it had reached the province of Tyre. Consider its nature, its application, and its source. 1. Its nature . 2. Its application . 3. Its source . II. THE MOCKERY OF WORLDLY WISDOM . The proud Prince of Tyre vainly pretends to excel this high wisdom of Daniel. 1. Its nature . It is "earthly,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:3-10

The folly of worldly wisdom. It might not have occurred to an ordinary observer that Tyre owed its position to its wisdom, and its downfall to an unwise confidence in that wisdom. Bat the Prophet Ezekiel looked below the surface, and traced the arrogance and presumptuous ungodliness of the great city to its claim to worldly prudence, sagacity, and skill, which, being substituted for true and Divine wisdom, became the occasion of the city's downfall and destruction. I. THE RANGE ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 28:1-10

The prophecy against the prince of Tyre. Throughout the east the majesty and glory of a people were collected in the person of their monarch, who in some nations was worshipped as a god. The prince is here the embodiment of the community. Their glory is his glory, their pride his pride. The doom of Tyre could not be complete without denunciation of the prince of Tyre. Idolatrous nations and idolatrous kings were, in the eyes of the prophet, antagonists to the true God. In them was embodied the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 28:2

Ezekiel 28:2. Say to the prince of Tyrus The name of this prince was Ithobalus, according to the Phenician annals. Because thy heart is lifted up In pride and self-conceit; and thou hast said Namely, in thy heart; I am a god I am like a god. I sit in the seat of God Inaccessible by mortals. In the midst of the seas As God is safe from all injury in his throne in heaven, so am I as safe; for the sea secures me. These words express an insolent boast of self-sufficiency, as if he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 28:3-8

Ezekiel 28:3-8. Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel In thy own conceit. The fame of Daniel’s wisdom was quickly spread over Chaldea, upon his being advanced to several posts of honour and dignity by Nebuchadnezzar. See Daniel 2:8. So here the prophet in an ironical manner upbraids the vain boasts which the prince of Tyre made of his wisdom, and the policy of those about him, as if it exceeded the endowments of Daniel. The Phenicians, of whom the Tyrians were a colony, (see note on Isaiah... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 28:1-19

Judgment on the king of Tyre (28:1-19)The king of Tyre, as representative of the whole nation, is now condemned on account of the pride for which Tyre was famous. Because of the wealth and strength that the country gained through clever trading, Tyre saw itself as all-powerful, answerable to no one. It considered itself to be a god among the nations of the commercial world (28:1-5).Yahweh, the only true God, will tolerate Tyre’s arrogance no longer. The day of Tyre’s judgment has come (6-7).... read more
