¹ The worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying: ² Thou sonne of man, tel the prince of Tyre, thus sayth the Lorde God: Because thou hast a proude heart, and hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seate of God, in the mids of the sea: wher as thou art but a man, and not God, though thou set thyne heart as the heart of God. ³ Beholde, thou thinkest thy selfe wyser then Daniel, that there is no secretes hyd from thee. ⁴ With thy wisdome and thine vnderstanding thou hast gotten thee great welthines, & gathered treasure of siluer & gold. ⁵ With thy great wysedome and occupying hast thou encreased thy power, and because of thy great riches thy heart is proude. ⁶ Therfore thus sayth the Lorde God, Forsomuch as thou hast set thyne heart as the heart of God: ⁷ Behold, I will bring straungers vpon thee, euen the terrible nations, these shal drawe out their swordes vpon the beautie of thy wysdome, and shall defile thy glorie. ⁸ They shall cast thee downe to the pit, so that thou shalt dye the death of them that be slayne in the mids of the sea. ⁹ Wilt thou say then before them that slay thee, I am a God? where as thou art but a man, and not God, in the handes of them that slay thee. ¹⁰ Die shalt thou the death of the vncircumcized in the handes of the straungers: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lorde God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophecy against the prince of Tyre. Throughout the east the majesty and glory of a people were collected in the person of their monarch, who in some nations was worshipped as a god. The prince is here the embodiment of the community. Their glory is his glory, their pride his pride. The doom of Tyre could not be complete without denunciation of the prince of Tyre. Idolatrous nations and idolatrous kings were, in the eyes of the prophet, antagonists to the true God. In them was embodied the principle of evil opposing itself to the divine government of the world. Hence, some of the fathers saw upon the throne, not simply a hostile monarch, but “the Prince of this world, spiritual wickedness (or wicked spirits) in high places.” Whenever evil in any way domineers over good, there is a “prince of Tyrus,” against whom God utters His voice. The “mystery of iniquity is ever working, and in that working we recognize the power of Satan whom God condemns and will destroy.

Ezekiel 28:2

Thou hast said, I am a god - Compare Ezekiel 29:3; Daniel 4:30; Acts 12:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

I sit in the seat of God - Words denoting the speaker’s pride; but the situation of the island-city, full of beauty, in the midst of the blue water of the Mediterranean, gives force to the expression. Compare the words describing the lot of Tyre as having been in Eden Ezekiel 28:13.

Thou art a man - Rather, thou art man.

Ezekiel 28:3

Thou art wiser than Daniel - The passage is one of strong irony. Compare Ezekiel 14:14; Daniel 6:3.

Ezekiel 28:9

But thou shalt be a man - Rather, yet art thou man.

Ezekiel 28:10

The uncircumcised - The pagan idolaters as opposed to the covenant-people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXVIII

The first part of this chapter relates to a King of Tyre,

probably the same who is called in the Phoenician annals

Ithobalus. He seems to have been a vain man, who affected

Divine honours. The prophet treats his foolish pretensions

with severe irony, and predicts his doom, 1-10.

He then takes up a funeral dirge and lamentation over him, in

which his former pomp and splendour are finely contrasted with

his fall, in terms that seem frequently to allude to the fall

of Lucifer from heaven, (Isaiah 14:12 c.,) 11-19.

The overthrow of Sidon, the mother city of Tyre, is next

announced, 20-23

and the chapter concludes with a promise to the Jews of

deliverance from all their enemies, and particularly of their

restoration from the Babylonish captivity, 24-26.
