26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited {h} by seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who cause their terror [to be] on all that dwelt in it!

(h) Meaning, merchants who by their traffic enriched her wonderfully and increased her power.


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.

Those who now have the most established prosperity, will soon be out of sight and forgotten.
