13 I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be heard no more.
13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
13 And I will stop the music of your songs, and the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more.
13 And your parties, your famous good-time parties, will be no more. No more songs, no more lutes.
13 I will put an end to the sound of your songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more.
13 I will stop the music of your songs. No more will the sound of harps be heard among your people.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 26:13
Commentary on Ezekiel 26:1-14
(Read Ezekiel 26:1-14)
To be secretly pleased with the death or decay of others, when we are likely to get by it; or with their fall, when we may thrive upon it, is a sin that easily besets us, yet is not thought so bad as really it is. But it comes from a selfish, covetous principle, and from that love of the world as our happiness, which the love of God expressly forbids. He often blasts the projects of those who would raise themselves on the ruin of others. The maxims most current in the trading world, are directly opposed to the law of God. But he will show himself against the money-loving, selfish traders, whose hearts, like those of Tyre, are hardened by the love of riches. Men have little cause to glory in things which stir up the envy and rapacity of others, and which are continually shifting from one to another; and in getting, keeping, and spending which, men provoke that God whose wrath turns joyous cities into ruinous heaps.
