The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 26:15-21

The Effect of the Fall of Tyre v. 15. Thus saith the Lord God of Tyrus, Shall not the isles, including the colonies located along the shores of the Mediterranean, shake at the sound of thy fall, being filled with agitation and terror when the report of Tyre's fall reaches them, when the wounded cry, groaning in their pain, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? namely, at the taking of the city, when the sword mowed down with unrestrained fierceness. v. 16. Then all the princes... read more

HOMILETICAL HINTSOn Ch.26Ezekiel 26:1-6. Tyre, the home of the first learned jurist, Ulpian, is the burial-place of the gifted theologian Origen; and the ruins of its once gorgeous cathedral cover the bones of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.—“Selfishness is a very great sin, especially when one seeks to become rich through other people’s hurt” (Cr.).—Tyre against Jerusalem: a study for the times.—“The prophet would check the despondency which a sight of the world shining in its glory can so... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 26:1-21

The doom of the two dealt with Tyre and Sidon, but principally with Tyre. Concerning her, the prophet first made a general statement describing her sin, and the judgment determined against her, declaring that the purpose was that she also would know Jehovah. The sin of Tyre had finally expressed itself in her rejoicing over the downfall of Jerusalem, and her expectation of enrichment therefrom. On account of this the prophet declared that Jehovah was against Tyre, and that He would so utterly... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:1-21

Ezekiel 26. Siege and Destruction of Tyre.— Tyre is the incarnation of unrestrained commercialism; and, in the mind of Ezekiel her doom is justified by the malicious joy with which she hailed the fall of Jerusalem, whom, as “ the gate of the peoples,” she regarded as in some sort a rival, taxing, if not partially intercepting, the trade that passed between the south and Tyre ( Ezekiel 26:1-Joshua :). The agent of Tyre’ s destruction is to be Nebuchadrezzar, against whom she had rebelled. At... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:17

They; the princes of the sea, Ezekiel 26:16. Take up a lamentation for thee; solemnly, heartily, and for many days bewail thee. Say to thee, by a prosopopceia, or fiction of persons, personate a dismal, sorrowful congress with fallen Tyre. How art thou destroyed! Alas, is it so? Can it be true? How is it that thou art destroyed, who hadst so many friends, so much riches, &c.? The renowned city; for thy strength, wealth, and wisdom. Wast strong; strong indeed, and thought impregnable. Cause... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 26:1-21

Ezekiel 26:2 . Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha. The Lord’s people were not beloved among the gentile nations, because they were not what they seemed to be in regard to their holy temple. Having made reflections on the fall of Tyre in Isaiah 23:0., we have here only to gather the gleanings. A new Tyre was built on an island near the old one, under the auspices of Cyrus. Ezekiel 26:4 . I will also scrape her dust. Tyre, because of her wealth and maritime resources, was as much... read more
