Bible Comments

What city is like Tyrus? a few years since no city like her in beauty, riches, glory, and joy, now none like her in all the contraries. The destroyed; now no more Tyre the flourishing, the renowned, the mart of nations, and the stately built; but now the destroyed, the silent, overwhelmed with grief, which was full of songs. In the midst of the sea: alas! what was once her safeguard is now her grave, what enriched her once hath now swallowed all up at once.

Ezekiel 27:32
