Ezequiel 26:15-28:26 NVIPT

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 26:15

Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus ,.... By his prophet, who very probably delivered this prophecy to the ambassadors of Tyre at Babylon; or to some of their merchants that traded there; or sent it in a letter to them: shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall ; when they hear the noise of Tyre being taken, it will make them tremble, as fearing their turn will be next; that if a city so well fortified by nature and art, so well supplied with men and money, that had held out the... read more

The isles shake at the sound of thy fall - All those which had traded with this city, which was the grand mart, and on which they all depended. Her ruin involved them all, and caused general wailing. 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

Shall not the isles , etc.? The Hebrew word is used in a wider sense, as including all settlements on the sea-coast as well as islands. So it is used of Philistia ( Isaiah 20:6 ), and of the maritime states of Asia Minor ( Daniel 11:18 ), of the east and south coasts of Arabia ( Ezekiel 27:15 ). Looking to the extent of commerce described in Ezekiel 27:1-36 ; it probably includes all the Mediterranean settlements of the Tyrians, possibly also those in the Indian Ocean and the Persian... 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

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
