Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 Lamentations Daniel
Ezekiel 28
A prediction of the ruin of the king of Tyre, ver. 1-10. A
lamentation for him, ver. 11-19. A prediction of the destruction of
Zidon, ver. 20-23. The restoration of Israel, ver. 24-26.
Verse 2. Hast said - In thy heart. In the seat of God - Safe and
impregnable as heaven itself. A man - Subject to casualties,
sorrows, and distresses. Set thine heart - Thou hast entertained
thoughts, which become none but God.
Verse 3. Wiser - In thy own thoughts. Daniel - Who was then famous for
his wisdom.
Verse 7. The beauty - Those beautiful things, in which thy wisdom
appeared.
Verse 10. The deaths - Temporal and eternal. Of the uncircumcised - Of
the wicked, an accursed death.
Verse 12. Thou sealest up - Thou fanciest that fulness of wisdom, and
perfection of beauty are in thee.
Verse 13. In Eden - In the midst of all delights. The workmanship - Now
the prophet notes their joys, musick, and songs, both to loud, and
to softer musick, as the lute, and tabret in the day of their kings
coronation, and all this on instruments of most exquisite make,
and of their own artists work; in this they exceeded as in the other.
Created - King: in the day of thy coronation.
Verse 14. Cherub - For thy wisdom, power, and excellency, like a
cherub, or angel; for the sacredness of thy person, and office, as
the anointed of God; for the exercise of thy power, as a shield, as
a protector of the weak. And I - I, whom thou forgetest have made
thee so. Thou wast - Thou wast advanced to kingly dignity,
(which David calls a mountain, Psalm xxx, 7,) a sacred office, and
of divine institution. In the midst - Surrounded with stones, that
sparkle like fire.
Verse 15. Thou wast perfect - Is not this an irony?
Verse 16. I will cast - Out thy kingly dignity.
Verse 17. Corrupted - Depraved, or lost thy wisdom. Behold thee - That
thou mayst be a spectacle, and warning to them.
Verse 18. I will bring thee - Thou shalt be burnt to ashes, and trampled
under feet.
Verse 19. All - All that have formerly known thy riches, power, allies,
and wisdom.
Verse 22. Zidon - A city, northwest from Canaan, a king's seat of old,
and from which Tyre descended. I will be glorified - When my
judgments make my justice, power and truth appear, both you,
and others shall confess my glory. Sanctified - Owned as holy,
reverenced as just, obeyed as sovereign.
Verse 23. And blood - Bloody war by an enemy, that shall bring the war
to the gates, nay into the streets of Zidon. Judged - Be punished in
the midst of the city. The sword - By the sword of her enemies.
Verse 24. A pricking briar - By these two metaphors the prophet points
out the troublesome neighbours of the Jews, such as Moab,
Ammon, Edom, Tyre, and Zidon. This never had a full
accomplishment yet. But it will, for the scripture cannot be
broken.
Verse 25. Sanctified - I was dishonoured by the Jews in the sight of the
heathen, and I will be honoured by the Jews in their sight.
