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.

4 Tu dominio está en alta mar,tus constructores resaltaron tu hermosura.

5 Con pinos del monte Senirhicieron todos tus entablados.Con cedros del Líbanoarmaron tu mástil.
