Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 27:4-36

I have not interrupted the reading of the whole Chapter, for from the beginning to the close of the Chapter, it is but one and the same subject. The riches, trade, and commerce of Tyrus, fills the whole of the verses. The Reader will find cause on the perusal to lament, as the Prophet was commanded to do, that a place abounding with so many blessings, should have abounded also with so much sin . But alas! what is human nature universally considered in the present fallen state! read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 27:26-36

26-36 The most mighty and magnificent kingdoms and states, sooner or later, come down. Those who make creatures their confidence, and rest their hopes upon them, will fall with them: happy are those who have the God of Jacob for their Help, and whose hope is in the Lord their God, who lives for ever. Those who engage in trade should learn to conduct their business according to God's word. Those who possess wealth should remember they are the Lord's stewards, and should use his goods in doing... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 27:26-36

The Fall of Tyre v. 26. Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters, Tyre being once more represented as a stately vessel of the galley variety, driven by one or more rows of oars in the hands of powerful oarsmen. The east wind, which often blows in sudden, furious gusts, hath broken thee in the midst of the seas, in a shipwreck which meant the death-blow of Tyre in the midst of her glory. v. 27. Thy riches, all the marvelous wealth heaped up in her banks and storehouses, and thy fairs,... read more

HOMILETICAL HINTSOn Ch. 27Ezekiel 27:1-10. “When Tyre rejoices over Jerusalem, then the prophet raises a lamentation over Tyre: this is the recompense of the pious” (Stck.).—If we must not repay evil with evil, there still is with God a recompensing of evil with evil.—“All human and earthly things go out at last in lamentation” (Stck.).—This is the lamentation of the Spirit, that the world sows to the flesh, and of the flesh reaps corruption.—With kettledrums and flutes the world begins, but it... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:1-36

At the command of Jehovah, Ezekiel then took up a lamentation for Tyre. This took the form of a pictorial representation of her as a gallant ship trafficking among the nations and ultimately wrecked, to the consternation of all that beheld. The subjects set forth under the figure are her commercial supremacy, enterprises, and ruin. Her supremacy was ensured by the fact that she sat at the entrances of the sea, and the wealth of the nations round about had contributed to that result, until Tyre... read more

“So you were loaded (replenished) and heavily laden (made very glorious), in the heart of the seas. Your rowers have brought you out, into great waters, The east wind has broken you up, in the heart of the seas. Your riches and your wares, your merchandise, Your mariners and your rope-pullers, Your caulkers and your dealers in merchandise, And all your men of war who are in you, With all your company, who are in your midst, Sink into the heart of the seas, on the day of your ruin.” The ship... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 27:1-36

Ezekiel 27. The Dirge over Tyre.— The interest of the brilliant poem that follows is greatly enhanced by the description of the commerce of Tyre in a passage ( Ezekiel 27:9 b - Ezekiel 27:25 a) remarkable alike for its textual difficulty and for its importance as a source for our knowledge of the trade of the ancient world. Tyre is compared to a gallant ship, of finished beauty, with equipments the finest and costliest, manned and piloted by the most skilful of sailors ( Ezekiel 27:1-1 Samuel... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 27:27

Thy riches; not the vast treasures of the public, nor the great wealth of private citizens, shall purchase Tyre a continued prosperity. Thy fairs; these shall be interrupted by the siege, and none that frequented them shall prevail for access to them. Thy merchandise; the stock of goods of all sorts now in thy warehouses, and what thou hast trusted out. Thy mariners, & c.: see Ezekiel 27:8-11. All thy company; all that are men fit for war in the multitudes of people that are in thee, or all... read more
