Ezekiel 26:15-18
15 Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre , "Shall not the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan , when the slaughter occurs in your midst ? 16 "Then all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones , remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments . They will clothe themselves with trembling ; they will sit on the ground , tremble every moment and be appalled at you. 17 "They will take up a lamentation over you and say to you, ' How you have perished , O inhabited one, From the seas , O renowned city , Which was mighty on the sea , She and her inhabitants , Who imposed her terror On all her inhabitants ! 18 'Now the coastlands will tremble On the day of your fall ; Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea Will be terrified at your passing .' "

Commentary on Ezekiel 26:15-21
(Read Ezekiel 26:15-21)
See how high, how great Tyre had been. See how low Tyre is made. The fall of others should awaken us out of security. Every discovery of the fulfilment of a Scripture prophecy, is like a miracle to confirm our faith. All that is earthly is vanity and vexation. Those who now have the most established prosperity, will soon be out of sight and forgotten.
