Ezekiel 26:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 26:15

13 ^aI will put an end to the sound of ^byour songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more.

14 ^aI will make you like the top of a rock; you shall be a place for spreading nets, and you shall never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken,’ says the Lord God.

15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: ‘Will the coastlands not ^ashake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in the midst of you?

16 Then all the ^aprinces of the sea will ^bcome down from their thrones, lay aside their robes, and take off their embroidered garments; they will clothe themselves with trembling; ^cthey will sit on the ground, ^dtremble every moment, and ^ebe astonished at you.

17 And they will take up a ^alamentation for you, and say to you:
“How you have perished,
O one inhabited by seafaring men,
O renowned city,
Who was ^bstrong at sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who caused their terror to be on all her inhabitants!

18 Now ^athe coastlands tremble on the day of your fall;
Yes, the coastlands by the sea are troubled at your departure.” ’

19 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you,

20 then I will bring you down ^awith those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory ^bin the land of the living.

21 ^aI will make you a terror, and you shall be no more; ^bthough you are sought for, you will never be found again,’ says the Lord God.”
