Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 28:9

A cutting taunt, or sarcasm: What will become of thy godship then? Wilt thou then dream of immortality and almighty power, when thine enemy is cutting thy throat? Thou shalt be a man; appear thou to thyself and others to be a mortal, weak, conquered man, who dieth a sacrifice to the conqueror’s pride and cruelty. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 28:10

The deaths: Ezekiel 28:8. A twofold death, temporal and eternal. Of the uncircumcised; of the wicked, or an accursed death: the Jews do express a vile and miserable death thus. Or, the uncircumcised, i.e. heathens, cruel and merciless men, shall slay thee; and this suits with what follows in the verse, and this was ignominious with the Jews, 1 Samuel 31:4. I have spoken it, saith the Lord God; O thou proud, self-admiring prince! slight not what is threatened, for God, the God of truth, hath... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 28:1-26

PROPHETICAL DIRGE ON THE KING OF TYRE, AS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE SPIRIT OF CARNAL PRIDE AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY OF THE WHOLE STATE. THE FALL OF ZIDON, THE MOTHER-CITY. THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL IN CONTRAST WITH TYRE AND ZIDON (Chap. 28)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—“In this chapter we have a sublime threnody on the prince of Tyre, couched in language of the keenest irony. His fall is first of all traced to his insufferable pride, which is described in the most glowing terms (Ezekiel 28:2-6). His merited... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 28:1-26

Chapter 28Now as we get into chapter 28, the attention now is directed against the king of Tyre. Chapter 26 against the city of Tyre, chapter 27 against the merchandising of Tyre, chapter 28 now is directed against the king or the prince of Tyre. And as we get into this, suddenly there is a transition and he begins to address himself unto Satan, the power behind the earthly kingdom. Now the Bible says that Satan is the prince of this world. And unless a nation is really dedicated to God and its... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 28:1-26

Ezekiel 28:2 . Say unto the prince of Tyrus because thou hast said, I am אל El God, or the strong and mighty One. It is plain from the names of the princes that they bore titles of deity. Ezekiel 28:3 . Wiser than Daniel. After eclipsing all the wise men of Babylon, his wisdom, conferred of God, became a proverb through all the east. Daniel 5:11. Ezekiel 28:10 . Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised. See on chap. 32:25. REFLECTIONS. Isaiah has called the merchants of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 28:8

Eze 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas. Ver. 8. They shall bring thee down to the pit. ] There shall lie the greatness of the god of Tyre. And thou shalt die the death. ] Death will make no difference between a prince and a peasant, a lord and a lowly. The mortal scythe is master of the royal sceptre. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 28:9

Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] God? but thou [shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. Ver. 9. Wilt thou say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? ] That will prove a poor plea, and thou wilt soon be confuted, as afterwards great Alexander confuted his flatterers, when, being wounded in fight, he showed them his blood. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 28:10

Eze 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD. Ver. 10. Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised. ] Not only a temporal, but an eternal death, as they must needs do that are out of the covenant of grace, whereof circumcision was the seal. This is the sad catastrophe of such as dream of a deity. Of which number were Caligula, Herod, Heliogabalus, Dioclesian, and other monsters, uncircumcised vice gods, as we... read more
