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. 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.
