エゼキエル書 27:35-36 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 27:26-36

We have seen Tyre flourishing; here we have Tyre falling, and great is the fall of it, so much the greater for its having made such a figure in the world. Note, The most mighty and magnificent kingdoms and states, sooner or later, have their day to come down. They have their period; and, when they are in their zenith, they will begin to decline. But the destruction of Tyre was sudden. Her sun went down at noon. And all her wealth and grandeur, pomp and power, did but aggravate her ruin, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:35

All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee ,.... Both near and afar off; and not only the inhabitants of the isles, properly so called, but all that dwelt on the continent by the seaside; who would all be amazed when they heard of the ruin of Tyro, which they thought inexpugnable, by reason of its natural and artificial strength: and their kings shall be sore afraid ; that it will be their turn next; and as well knowing that they were less able to contend with so mighty... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:36

The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee ,.... As Tyre had done at Jerusalem, Ezekiel 26:2 as she hoped to make better markets upon the fall of Jerusalem, and therefore rejoiced at it; so these merchants upon her fall will hope that her trade will come into their hands, and therefore despise her, hiss, and laugh at her in her abject state. The Targum is, "shall be astonished at thee;' struck with wonder, and even with a stupor at her fall: "and thou shalt be a terror"; not... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 27:36

Shall hiss at thee - שרקו shareku , shall shriek for thee. This powerfully expresses the sensation made on the feelings of the spectators on the shore when they saw the vessel swallowed up. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36

Wreck of a stately ship. There is a striking resemblance between a gallant ship and an empire. Many persons and orders are united in a state under one governor or captain. There is a unity amid diversity. A state, like a ship, has interchange of interests with other nations. Upon the skill and prudence of the pilot depends the prosperity of empire or ship. The whole life of Tyre was poured into the channel of commerce. Hence the figure would be readily appreciated. I. THE COMPONENT ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36

A celebration of remarkable prosperity. "The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus," etc. "We have here," says Hengstenberg," the lamentation over the fall of Tyre, announced in the foregoing chapter. First, its present glory is presented at full length to the view ( Ezekiel 27:1-25 ); then its fall, the importance of which can only be understood from the knowledge of its glory. We must profoundly know the gloria mundi if we... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:35

A great surprise. All the neighboring inhabitants are astonished at the terrible and unexpected fate of strong, proud Tyre. The dramatic event sends a shock of amazement through all the region round about. This great surprise is instructive. I. MEN EXPECT THE CUSTOMARY TO CONTINUE . The intellect is conservative. Novelty is unlocked for. We believe that the future will be like the past for no other reason than that, on the whole, things seem to be stable and the course of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:35

The news of Tyre’s ruin shall reach to distant isles, to merchant cities who trade with her. These in their selfish love of gain shall rejoice over her who was once paramount over them, hissing out against her curses and scorn. read more

Ezekiel 27:33-36. When thy wares, &c. When thy wares or manufactures were transported through the seas to every part, thou filledst many people Didst supply the wants, or minister to the luxuries and pleasures, of many nations. Time was when thy wares, those of thy own making, and those that passed through thy hands, were exported to all parts of the world; then thou filledst many people, and didst enrich the kings of the earth and their kingdoms. But in the time when thou shalt be... read more
