以西结书 27:20 CUVS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 27:1-36

The Fate of Tyre Ezekiel 26-28 These chapters are superb reading. There is nothing to equal them out of Isaiah and the Apocalypse. Read them verse by verse privately; they grow as they are read. Was ever such a picture of a city drawn as is here drawn of the now all-but-forgotten Tyre and the adjacent city, Phoenician Sidon? How could Sidon escape when the great wind of God fell upon Tyre? It is dangerous to live near some cities, some people, some institutions. The twenty-seventh chapter... read more

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 27:1-25

1-25 Those who live at ease are to be lamented, if they are not prepared for trouble. Let none reckon themselves beautified, any further than they are sanctified. The account of the trade of Tyre intimates, that God's eye is upon men when employed in worldly business. Not only when at church, praying and hearing, but when in markets and fairs, buying and selling. In all our dealings we should keep a conscience void of offence. God, as the common Father of mankind, makes one country abound in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 27:12-25

Description of the Commerce of Tyre v. 12. Tarshish, or Tartessus in Spain, known for the wealth of its silver and other metals, was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches, for which they exchanged their wealth; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they traded in thy fairs, for the wares which Tyre had to offer. v. 13. Javan, the Ionians of Asia Minor, Tubal, and Meshech, the latter two being countries or states between the Black and the Caspian Sea, they were thy... 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

“Dedan was your trader in saddlecloths for riding, Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were your merchants (the merchants of your hand - compare Ezekiel 27:15), In lambs and rams and goats, in these were they your suppliers. The traders of Sheba and Raamah, they were your dealers, They traded for your wares with the best of all spices, and with all precious stones and gold.” The various cities of Arabia are now mentioned, well known for their trading caravans. Tyre dealt with them all.... 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
