에스겔 26:17 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 26:15-21

The utter ruin of Tyre is here represented in very strong and lively figures, which are exceedingly affecting. 1. See how high, how great, Tyre had been, how little likely ever to come to this. The remembrance of men's former grandeur and plenty is a great aggravation of their present disgrace and poverty. Tyre was a renowned city (Ezek. 26:17), famous among the nations, the crowning city (so she is called Isa. 23:8), a city that had crowns in her gift, honoured all she smiled upon, crowned... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 26:17

And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say unto thee ,.... The following mournful song: how art thou destroyed that wast inhabited of seafaring men ; or, "of the seas": by men who used the seas, and traded by sea to different parts of the world; and was frequented by persons that came by sea thither, by the great ocean, by the Red sea, the Mediterranean sea, and others; or, which was surrounded by the sea. So the Targum, "that dwellest in the midst of the sea:' "the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:17

Wast strong in the sea - The strength of Tyre was so great, that Alexander despaired of being able to reduce it unless he could fill up that arm of the sea that ran between it and the main land. And this work cost his army seven months of labor. read more

The sin and doom of Tyre. "And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying," etc. I. THE SIN OF TYRE . "Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha! she is broken that was the gate of the peoples; she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste." The sin which is here charged against Tyre is extreme and cruel selfishness. There is no evidence in this chapter that... read more

A lamentation over fallen greatness. "Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, " etc.? These verses suggest the following observations. I. THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD ARE SOMETIMES SO AWFUL AS TO FILL THE EXALTED AND MIGHTY WITH AMAZEMENT AND DISMAY . ( Ezekiel 26:15 , Ezekiel 26:16 ; cf. Jeremiah 4:7-9 .) The isles are the islands of the Mediterranean, and places on the coast also are perhaps... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 26:15-21

Glory departed. A more imaginative and pathetic picture than that painted in these words will scarcely be found in revelation, or indeed in all literature. The anticipation of Tyre's destruction seems to have awakened all the poetry of the prophet's nature. And no wonder; for never was a contrast more marked and more significant than that between Tyre in its grandeur and Tyre in its desolation. The isles shake with the resounding crash of the city's fall. The groans of the wounded and the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 26:15-21

National disaster becomes a public lesson. The world of men is one, although nationalities are many. There is a thread of unity on which the separate jewels of humanity are strung. What affects one affects, in some measure, the whole. I. THERE IS MUTUAL INTERDEPENDENCE OF NATIONS . Nations, like individuals, have been incarnations of selfishness. They have tried to aggrandize for self alone, but they have failed, and in most cases the failure has been a disaster. In... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 26:17

Inhabited of seafaring , etc.; Hebrew, from the seas . The sense is the same, but we lose the poetry of the original in the paraphrase. Possibly, however, the phrase may represent the position of Tyro as rising out of the sea or as deriving its wealth from it. Ewald adopts a conjectural reading, which gives "destroyed from the seas;" or, with another conjecture, "She that was settled from the days of the remote past." read more

The effect of the fall of Tyre.Ezekiel 26:16Clothe themselves with trembling - Mourners change their bright robes for sad garments.Ezekiel 26:17Of seafaring men - literally, “from the seas,” i. e., occupied by men who come from the seas. Tyre was an inhabited city rising from out of the sea.Ezekiel 26:20Compare Isaiah 14:9. The image used by Isaiah and Jeremiah of Babylon is by Ezekiel applied to Tyre, as if to show that Tyre and Babylon alike represent the world-power. So, in the Book of... read more
