Ezekiel 28:19

19 All the nations who knew you are horrified because of you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will never exist again.'"

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 You became too proud because of your beauty. You wasted your wisdom because of your greatness. So I threw you to the ground and left you in front of the kings so that they could see you.

18 You dishonored your own holy places because of your many sins and dishonest trade. So I set fire to you to burn you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground in the presence of all who saw you.

19 All the nations who knew you are horrified because of you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will never exist again.'"

20 The LORD spoke his word to me. He said,

21 "Son of man, turn to Sidon and prophesy against it.
