Ezekiel 26:17-18

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.
