There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Ver. 16. There dwelt men of Tyre also] Phoenician merchants had their factors in Jerusalem.
And all manner of ware] Merchandise; for Tyre was a great market town, and famous for fishing, Ezekiel 27:1,36
And sold on the sabbath] Which they ought not to have done; for that was God's market day, and not man's.
Unto the children of Judah] Who were, therefore, worse than the Tyrians, because they ought to have been better; therefore wrath shall be upon the Jew first, and then upon the Gentile, Romans 2:10
And in Jerusalem] This holy city was become a harlot. Filthiness in a stew is nothing so odious as in a virgin; a nettle in a wilderness is not so unsightly as in a garden. In a land of uprightness to do wickedly is an aggravating circumstance, Isaiah 26:10 .
