Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The dirge of Tyre written in poetical form. Tyre is compared to a fair vessel, to whose equipment the various nations of the world contribute, launching forth in majesty, to be wrecked and to perish. The nations enumerated point out Tyre as the center of commerce between the eastern and western world. This position, occupied for a short time by Jerusalem, was long maintained by Tyre, until the erection of Alexandria supplanted her in this traffic. Compare the dirge of Babylon Isaiah 14:3-23; in each case the city named represents the world-power antagonistic to God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXVII
This chapter may be considered as the second part of the
prophecy concerning Tyre. The prophet pursues his subject in
the manner of those ancient lamentations or funeral songs, in
which the praeficiae or mourning women first recounted whatever
was great or praiseworthy in the deceased, and then mourned his
fall. Here the riches, glory, and extensive commerce of Tyre
are enlarged upon, 1-25.
Her downfall is then described in a beautiful allegory,
executed in a few words, with astonishing brevity, propriety,
and perspicuity, 26;
upon which all the maritime and commercial world are
represented as grieved and astonished at her fate, and greatly
alarmed for their own, 27-36.
Besides the view which this chapter gives of the conduct of
Providence, and the example with which it furnishes the critic
and men of taste of a very elegant and highly finished piece of
composition, it likewise affords the antiquary a very curious
and interesting account of the wealth and commerce of ancient
times. And to the mind that looks for "a city that hath
foundations," what a picture does the whole present of the
mutability and inanity of all earthly things! Many of the
places mentioned in ancient history have, like Tyre, long ago
lost their political consequence; the geographical situation of
others cannot be traced; they have sunk in the deep waters of
oblivion; the east wind hath carried them away.
