Ezequiel 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.

Ezequiel 27:2 In-Context

1 Y vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo:
2 TĂş, hijo de hombre, eleva una elegĂ­a por Tiro;
3 y di a Tiro, que está asentada en las entradas del mar, negociante de los pueblos de muchas costas: "Así dice el Señor DIOS: "Tiro, tú has dicho: "Soy de perfecta hermosura."
4 'En el corazón de los mares están tus límites; tus edificadores perfeccionaron tu hermosura.
5 'De los cipreses de Senir te han hecho todas tus tablas; del Líbano han tomado un cedro para hacerte un mástil.
