The Humiliation of Tyre
Ezekiel 26:21
I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more: though you be sought for, yet shall you never be found again, said the Lord GOD.


All prophecy is moral, is based on moral considerations. What the prophet aims his threats against is not the prosperity of Tyre, but its pride of heart, which was rebellion against Jehovah — God over all. The humiliation of Tyre was morally as good as its ruins, in so far as it showed that there were higher forces in the world than itself.

(A. B. Davidson.).
