Listen to Ezekiel 27:4
4 Tes frontières sont au cœur des mers, ceux qui t'ont bâtie t'ont rendue d'une parfaite beauté;

Ezekiel 27:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:4

Thy borders are in the midst of the seas,
Fixed by the Lord himself, and which could never be removed. Tyre stood about half a mile from the continent, surrounded with the waters of the sea, till it was made a peninsula by Alexander: thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
The Sidonians were the first builders of the city, as Justin F17 says; who began and carried on the building of it to the utmost of their knowledge and skill; and which was afterwards perfected by other builders, who made it the most beautiful city in all those parts; unless this is to be understood of her shipbuilders, who brought the art of building ships in her to such a perfection, as made her famous throughout the world; since they are immediately spoken of without any other antecedent.

Ezekiel 27:4 In-Context

2 Et toi, fils de l'homme, prononce à haute voix une complainte sur Tyr.
3 Dis à Tyr: O toi qui es assise aux bords de la mer, qui fais le commerce avec les peuples dans des îles nombreuses, ainsi dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel: Tyr, tu as dit: Je suis d'une parfaite beauté.
4 Tes frontières sont au cœur des mers, ceux qui t'ont bâtie t'ont rendue d'une parfaite beauté;
5 Ils ont fait tes lambris en cyprès de Sénir; ils ont pris des cèdres du Liban pour te faire des mâts;
6 Ils ont fait tes rames de chênes de Bassan, tes bancs en ivoire enchâssé dans le buis des îles de Kittim.
