Ezequiel 26:12

12 Também eles roubarão as tuas riquezas e saquearão as tuas mercadorias; derrubarão os teus muros e arrasarão as tuas casas agradáveis; e lançarão no meio das águas as tuas pedras, as tuas madeiras, e o teu solo.

Ezequiel 26:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 26:12

And they shall make a spoil of thy riches
The Chaldean army, when they entered the city, and got possession of it, would plunder it, and divide the riches of it among them: and make a prey of thy merchandise;
of the merchants' goods, laid up in their warehouses for sale, which was greatly hindered by this long siege; compare with this ( Revelation 18:11 Revelation 18:12 ) : and they shall break down thy walls;
the walls of their houses; mention being made before of breaking down the walls of the city, towers, and garrisons: and destroy thy pleasant houses;
or, "houses of thy desire" ^F12; the most desirable ones in the city; the houses of their princes and chief magistrates; their summer houses; or which were most delightfully situated towards the sea, to have the prospect and advantage of that: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst
of the water;
of the sea, near unto or about it; into which they cast the rubbish of the demolished houses, stones, timber, and dust, and so left it bare and naked: or rather this was fulfilled when Alexander, with the ruins of old Tyre, its stones, timber, and rubbish, and trees from Lebanon, made a causeway from the continent to the island; and by that means took it, after seven months' toil and labour of this sort ^F13.

Ezequiel 26:12 In-Context

10 Por causa da multidão de seus cavalos te cobrirá o seu pó; os teus muros tremerão com o estrondo dos cavaleiros, e das carroças, e dos carros, quando ele entrar pelas tuas portas, como quem entra numa cidade em que se fez brecha.

11 Com as patas dos seus cavalos pisará todas as tuas ruas; ao teu povo matará � espada, e as tuas fortes colunas cairão por terra.

12 Também eles roubarão as tuas riquezas e saquearão as tuas mercadorias; derrubarão os teus muros e arrasarão as tuas casas agradáveis; e lançarão no meio das águas as tuas pedras, as tuas madeiras, e o teu solo.

13 E eu farei cessar o arruído das tuas cantigas, e o som das tuas harpas não se ouvira mais;

14 e farei de ti uma rocha descalvada; viras a ser um enxugadouro das redes, nunca mais serás edificada; pois eu, o Senhor, o falei, diz o Senhor Deus.
