Ezekiel 28:19

19 All who know you among the peoples will be aghast at you. You are an object of terror, and you will cease to exist.'"

Ezekiel 28:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:19

All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished
at thee
At thy fall; that such a mighty city, and powerful prince, should be destroyed at once; that, from such a height of prosperity, they should be brought to so low an estate of adversity; this will be the astonishment of kings, merchants, and others, that knew the riches, power, and flourishing estate of Rome, as before observed: thou shalt be a terror;
to the said persons, who will be afraid to come nigh for fear of the same torments and punishment, ( Revelation 18:10 Revelation 18:15 ) , or, though thou "hast been a terror"; or "terrors"; exceeding terrible to others in time past, yet now, as the Targum,

``I will give thee (or make thee) as if thou wast not:''

and never shalt thou be any more;
as thou hast been, or after thy last destruction; so mystical Tyre or Babylon shall be no more, when once destroyed, ( Revelation 18:21 ) .

Ezekiel 28:19 In-Context

17 Your heart grew proud because of your beauty, you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. But I have thrown you on the ground; before kings I have made you a spectacle.

18 By your many crimes in dishonest trading, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore I brought forth fire from within you, and it has devoured you; I reduced you into ashes on the ground in the sight of all who can see you.

19 All who know you among the peoples will be aghast at you. You are an object of terror, and you will cease to exist.'"
