18 Now they tremble, is it not the day of thy fall? Troubled have been the isles that 'are' in the sea, at thine outgoing.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 26:18

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.
