The word of the LORD came to me:
Tyre must be lamented now, in her height, because prosperity is her snare and the cause of her ruin. We ought to mourn the calamities of all nations, even those they bring on themselves by folly. Tyre calls herself perfect beauty because of her buildings and wealth, but this is the folly of worldly children who mistake pomp for perfection.

The word of the Lord came again unto me,.... Upon the same subject, the destruction of Tyre: saying; as follows:
The lamentation begins by painting Tyre's splendor, her situation, her architectural perfection, her military strength, her far-reaching commerce, before it turns to mourning her complete ruin. The entire glory He has described becomes the measure of what is lost.
