Ezechiël 27:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:2

Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus.
] Compose an elegy, and sing it; make a mournful noise, and deliver out a funeral ditty; such as the "praeficae", or mournful women, made at funerals, in which they said all they could in praise of the dead, and made very doleful lamentations for them: this the prophet was to do in a prophetic manner, for the confirmation of what was prophesied of by him; and it may teach us, that even wicked men are to be pitied, when in distress and calamity.

Ezechiël 27:2 In-Context

1 Wijders geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende:
2 Gij dan, mensenkind! hef een klaaglied op over Tyrus;
3 En zeg tot Tyrus, die daar woont aan de ingangen der zee, handelende met de volken in vele eilanden: Zo zegt de Heere HEERE: O Tyrus! gij zegt: Ik ben volmaakt in schoonheid.
4 Uw landpalen zijn in het hart der zeeen; uw bouwers hebben uw schoonheid volkomen gemaakt.
5 Zij hebben al uw denningen uit dennebomen van Senir gebouwd; zij hebben cederen van den Libanon gehaald, om masten voor u te maken.
