They; the princes of the sea, Ezekiel 26:16. Take up a lamentation for thee; solemnly, heartily, and for many days bewail thee. Say to thee, by a prosopopceia, or fiction of persons, personate a dismal, sorrowful congress with fallen Tyre. How art thou destroyed! Alas, is it so? Can it be true? How is it that thou art destroyed, who hadst so many friends, so much riches, &c.? The renowned city; for thy strength, wealth, and wisdom. Wast strong; strong indeed, and thought impregnable. Cause their terror to be on all that haunt it: who durst set on thee, who overawedst all the bold adventurers at sea?
