Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre? Words of admiration. Who, and where, is he that could imagine, or durst attempt such a thing as this? This is the work of God, and not of man. The crowning city Which was a royal city, and carried away the crown from all other cities: whose merchants are princes Equal to princes for wealth, and power, and reputation. The Lord of hosts hath purposed it This is the Lord's own doing; to stain the pride of all glory God's design is, by this example, to abase the pride of all the potentates of the earth, that they may see how weak they are when he sets himself against them.
