“And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, … Sor said against Jerusalem: Aha! … she is broken, she has perished, the nations have turned to me; she who was full has been laid waste.” In the eleventh year of Jeconiah's captivity and of Zedekiah's reign, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, Jerusalem was taken by the Babylonians. A few days before the capture, then, the prophet is commanded to speak his prophetic words against Tyre; for Tyre is called Sor in the language of the country. She too rejoiced at the siege of Jerusalem, and supposed that once that most illustrious city was destroyed, she herself would take power over all the neighboring nations. “Therefore thus says Adonai the Lord: Behold, I am bringing … against Sor, and I will bring up many against you, as the sea comes up with its waves; and they will cast down your walls and pull down your towers; and I will scrape her dust from her and make her … will be in the midst … Lord; and she will become plunder for the nations. And her daughters in the plain will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the Lord.” By these words he threatens her with the army of the Babylonians. He says that her walls will be destroyed and that she will become desolate, so as to look like smooth rocks on which fishermen usually spread their nets. He also says that the cities and villages subject to her will be laid waste; for he names these her daughters. And he signifies the gain that comes from the calamities: “For they will know,” he says, “that I am the Lord. For thus says Adonai the Lord: Behold, I am bringing against you, Sor, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the north (he is king of kings), with horses and chariots and horsemen, and a gathering of very many nations. He will slay your daughters in the plain with the sword, and set an outpost against you, and build a palisade all around you, and an array of weapons, and set his spears against you.” … as invading enemies usually do, so as both to plunder what lies outside and to destroy the besieged by lack of necessities. By “building around” he means the walls built outside by the enemies. And to this circumvallation, he says, he will add a palisade, … dare to go out, and be easily shot with missiles of every kind. Then he adds:

Notes and citation

Summary: Tyre gloated over Jerusalem's fall, hoping to gain power, so God will send Nebuchadnezzar to besiege and lay her waste until she is a bare rock for drying nets.

“[He will pull down] your walls and your towers with his weapons. From the multitude of his horses their dust will cover you, and at the sound of his horsemen and of the wheels of his chariots your walls will shake, when he enters your gates as one enters a city from the plain. With the hoofs of his horses they will trample all your streets; he will slay your people with the sword and bring the mainstay of your strength down to the ground. And he will plunder your power and despoil your possessions, and cast down your walls and pull down your desirable houses, and throw your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of the sea. And he will put an end to the multitude of your musicians, and the sound of your harps will be heard no more. And I will make you … and you will not be built any more, for I have spoken, says Adonai the Lord.” Everything I foretell is true, he says. Receive the prediction, then, as one that does not lie: the Babylonians will pull down your walls, tear down your houses near [the sea] and fill it with their stones; and the din of horses and chariots will be so great that the city will seem to be shaken by an earthquake. And they will plunder your possessions and enslave your inhabitants; and such desolation will seize you that fishermen will dry their wet nets in you, and what they usually do on the smooth rocks near the sea they will do in you because of the great desolation. As for “You will not be built any more,” [its sense is learned] from the blessed Isaiah. For the prophet foretold painful things for Tyre, but limited them to a set time: “For Tyre will be left seventy years, like the time of one king, like the time of a man; and it will be that after the seventy years God will visit Tyre, and she will be restored to her former state, and she will be a market for all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the whole earth, and her trade will be holy to the Lord,” and what follows. So “It will not be built” hints at the change of its ways: it will not be built again in its former impiety, but will receive another building, the very opposite, which, according to the prophet Isaiah, will be holy to the Lord. The facts bear witness to this, and the piety that now prevails there; for turning from its former superstition and its error about idols to God, it has received the light of the knowledge of God. “For thus says the Lord to Sor: Will not … at the sound of your fall, when …” … Tyre from of old, not only in Asia but in Europe too; so the calamity that befell her necessarily became known. When they learn of it, he says, those who live on the islands will be terrified, and their kings, from despondency and grief, will strip their heads of their diadems (for he called these mitres), and take off their costly garments, and put on mourning dress, expecting to suffer the same. For this is what he signified by saying …. The news of your evils will grieve them so much [that they will say]: “How you have perished and been destroyed from the sea, the praised city, which became strong on the sea, she and those who live in her, she who put the fear of her on all who live in her! And the islands will be afraid from the day of your fall, and the islands will be troubled at your power on the sea.” Reckoning your former power, he says, and seeing the calamity that has now overtaken you, they will lament you, once so celebrated and renowned, and they will be anxious about their own affairs, fearing that they may fall into the same.

Notes and citation

Summary: Nebuchadnezzar will raze Tyre and the islands will lament her; “never rebuilt” means, in light of Isaiah, that she would never again be built in idolatry, and Tyre has since received the knowledge of God.

“For thus says Adonai the Lord: When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that will not be inhabited, when I bring up the deep against you and much water covers you, and I bring you down to those who go down into the pit, to the people of old, and settle you in the depths of the earth, like an everlasting wilderness, with those who go down …, so that … on the land of life.” He called the army of the Babylonian a deep because of its multitude. For since Tyre too is surrounded by water and like an island, lying wholly within the sea and having only one entrance from the land, he fittingly used the figure, calling the multitude of the enemies much water and a deep. “I will bring you down to those who go down into the pit, to the people of old” signifies death, to which all who pass through life in this present age are subject; so he named the dead “the people of old.” And “that you may not rise on the land of life” points to that verse of the psalm: “Therefore the impious will not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the righteous.” Since those who lived in Tyre at that time were impious, they will not rise to the land of life; and the blessed David calls this the land of the living: “For he has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from slipping, that I may be pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.” And the Lord in the holy Gospels makes this division: “For these will rise to eternal life, and those to punishment and eternal shame.” So he threatens those who lived in Tyre at that time, living in impiety, not only with the Babylonian's attack and the destruction it brought, but also with painful and grievous things in the life to come. For what is more painful than not to rise on the land of life? To these he adds:

“I will give you over to destruction, and you will be no more; and you will be sought and not found forever, says Adonai the Lord.” All the divine prophets and the holy apostles were counted worthy of the same Spirit; so they do not say things contrary to one another, for the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. And if the divine prophets were counted worthy of the same Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, the oracles of the blessed prophets agree. So even if we find in the prophet Isaiah that the desolation of Tyre is limited, and hear the prophet Ezekiel saying to Tyre, “You will be sought and not found forever, says Adonai the Lord,” we shall not say that the prophets disagree, but shall resolve the question from the idioms of Scripture. For the divine Scripture often calls even a short time an age. Such is what the blessed David said: “Our age is in the light of your face.” And yet the same man says: “The days of our years in them are seventy years, and if in strength, eighty years, and the most of them toil and pain.” Knowing human life to be only that long, he named it an age. So “You will not be found forever” [literally, “for the age”] means: for the age of desolation fixed for you; and a time of seventy years was fixed for it through Isaiah the prophet. And if anyone wishes to understand the passage more spiritually, he will find the prophecy true in this way too. For if anyone looks for Tyre, he will not find that former Tyre; for that one was impious, but the one that flourished again after it had been laid waste is seen to be pious, lit up by the light of the knowledge of God. Whether, then, someone wishes to understand the prophecy according to the letter, he will find that the time fixed for it is called an age; or if …

Summary: Since one Spirit speaks in all the prophets, Ezekiel's “forever” does not contradict Isaiah's seventy years: “age” can mean a limited time, or the old pagan Tyre is gone for good, replaced by a Christian city.

… “Your sons put beauty on you …; from Bashan they made your oars.” These mountains produce various kinds of timber. So he lists what was brought to her from every side: the masts from …, [the oars] from the region of Bashan, the buildings from Sanir. To these he adds: “Your holy things they made of ivory, houses of groves from the islands of Kittim.” For “your holy things” the other translators have put “your yardarm,” following the sequence of what was said before; for the yardarm goes with the mast and the oars. But if it were said of the idols, that would not be unlikely either: for she made ivory idols, he says, and “houses like groves”; so Aquila too rendered it. And he indicated the costliness of the timbers and the places they came from: “For you brought these,” he says, “from the islands of Kittim.” By Kittim he means the Greek islands. For through Jeremiah too God says: “Cross over to the islands of Kittim and see, and send to Kedar and consider carefully whether such a thing has happened, whether nations will change their gods, though they are no gods.” By Kedar he indicates the nations lying to the east, and by Kittim those to the west. Kition is a town in Cyprus, still so named to this day; with the rough breathing, according to the Hebrew idiom, it shows its kinship with Kittim; and at that time Cyprus ruled the islands. That is why he names the Greek islands Kittim. From these islands, he says, she brings: “Fine linen with embroidery from Egypt became your bedding, to put glory around you and to clothe you; blue and purple from …” … and of every kind; he means the carpets and the other things brought from there. And Greece sent you garments of every kind, some of sea-purple, some of hyacinth color; for he calls Greece Elisa.

“And your rulers who live in Sidon …” The Hebrew and the Syriac do not have “your rulers” but “your neighbors.” But so that we may understand the version of the Seventy too, let us take it thus: that the Sidonians, who were once your rulers, now together with those who live in Arad man your fleet and row your ships; and those among you who are skilled …. “For your wise men, Sor, who were in you, these were your pilots. The elders of Byblos and their wise men, who were in you, these strengthened your counsel.” They did not strengthen their own city, but offered you the best counsels and advice. “And all the ships of the sea and their oarsmen were in you, trading in your commerce, and they came to you toward the west of the west.” Merchants flocked together from every side, he says, selling some things and buying others; for this is what “trading in your commerce” signifies. And not only did your neighbors put into your harbors, but even those who live at the very ends of the west; for “toward the west of the west” signifies this: not only, he says, those who live west of you, but also those [further] west than they …; the costly timbers were brought to you. To these he adds:

Ezek 27:8 (quotation, high confidence) · Ezek 27:9 (quotation, high confidence)

Summary: Sidonians, men of Arad, and the wise of Byblos served Tyre's ships and counsels, and merchants came to her from the farthest west.

“The sons of the Rhodians were your merchants; from the islands they increased your trade, horns and ivory tusks.” Symmachus rendered the horns as ebony, from which the so-called ebony wares are made. The Rhodians, he says, sailed across the sea and brought these to you, and supplied your need of them. And you gave your payments in return to those who brought them in. “Men for your trade, from the multitude of your mixed population.” Receiving all these things, he says, you gave in return to the …; for he called “mixed” those who came from other nations but chose to live among them. “Stacte and purple and embroidery and fine linen from Tarshish, and Raamoth and Choth they gave as your merchandise.” Besides what has already been mentioned, you had other good things from Carthage, not only adorning you with clothing but … bringing you much fragrance. By stacte he means what is called balsam; by Choth, onycha; and by Raamoth, the other spices. “Judah and Israel, these were your merchants in the sale of grain, and of perfumes and cassia; and they gave the best honey and oil and resin to your mixed population.” So great, he says, was the abundance brought to you by the Jewish trade, that those with you, and the strangers and sojourners in you, … some for …, others for the luxury of fragrance.

“Damascus was your trader in the multitude of your works, out of the abundance of all your power.” Damascus, he says, traded in the goods produced by you; [you traded], then, with her too, selling your surplus and collecting the gold from there. “… from Miletus. And Daidan and Ioanan and Meozel gave wine into your market.” By Ioanan he means Ionia; Daidan is a city of Idumea, and Cheilbon was a village near it. Good things were brought to you from everywhere, he says: sweet and fragrant wine from this nation, and the finest wool from Miletus, which was once a city of Ionia and is now of Caria; and Chelbon Symmachus rendered as Chalybon …. “From Asel, wrought iron and wheels are in your mixed population. Daidan were your merchants with choice cattle for chariots. Arabia and all the rulers of Kedar, these were merchants through your hands; camels and rams and lambs, in these they traded with you.” Some, he says, brought you wrought iron, others mules and horses for chariots, others camels, rams and lambs, so that some might carry loads and others provide food and clothing. By Kedar he means the descendants of Ishmael, and by Daidan a city of Idumea, as we have already said. For so in Jeremiah, and in Ezekiel himself in the vision against Idumea, we have found Thaiman joined with Daidan. Some took Asel to be Asia, which has excellent ironworkers and makes iron vessels very well …. “The merchants of Saba and Regma, they too are your merchants, with the finest spices and precious stones, and they gave gold as your merchandise.” Saba and Regma trace their descent from Chous, and Chous was Ham's firstborn. So these too are Indian nations; and he shows what was brought from there: precious stones, gold and spices. “Charran and Chalan and Daidan, these were your merchants.” Charran is Carrhae; Chalan is Chalane, where the tower was built; Daidan [we have mentioned] often. “Bringing merchandise in Machalim, and … bound with cords, and in cypress ships; in these was your trade.” He names Saba an Indian nation, for we also find this name in the genealogy of Shem; Assour means the Assyrian, and Charman the so-called Carmania. And “in Machalim and in Galimoth …, and embroidery and choice treasures in … and in bundles tied together” … “in hidden vessels,” for so the Syriac too rendered it: costly clothing, he says, and embroidered, stored in excellently made vessels, and in …. “The ships of the Carthaginians were in your trade, in the multitude of your mixed population.” She also used the ships of the Carthaginians for trade, having a countless multitude, not only native but also brought in from abroad. “And you were filled and became very heavy in the heart of the seas. In much water your oarsmen brought you.” Satiety, he says, made you frisky, and while enjoying the good things you ignored your Benefactor. He made this accusation against Israel too: “For he ate …” Since you reaped no benefit from prosperity, I will teach you sobriety by the opposite. “For the south wind,” he says, “has broken you in the heart of the sea.” He figuratively named the Babylonian so; for since the south wind naturally raises the greatest waves and stirs up a dangerous surge against those at sea, he figuratively, as of a [ship], calls the onslaught of the enemies [so]. Then he says, so that we need not linger on the same things, that utter destruction will overtake you, your sojourners, your [sailors], your merchants, and those who fill your military roll; for he signified this by saying: “They will fall in the midst of the heart of the seas.” He adds that when the siege and the capture have taken place, your pilots living far off will fall into great fear and turn to flight; the sailors with the bow officers will do the same, and leaving their vessels, lamenting and wailing, they will come to land; they will sprinkle their heads with earth and lie down on the very ground, wiping off the dust; they will strip their heads of the comeliness of their hair, and [put on] sackcloth …. Then he also tells the lament they make: “Who is like Tyre, silenced in the midst of the sea?” You spent all this time, he says, in quiet and peace; no one [caused] you disturbance …

Notes and citation

Summary: The catalog of Tyre's trading partners, from Damascus and Ionia to Arabia, Sheba, and Carthage, ends with the ship of Tyre, swollen with wealth and forgetful of its Benefactor, wrecked by the south wind of Babylon while sailors and merchants lament.

  • Several verse numerals are lost in the OCR, so this section holds the lemmas of Ezek 27:18, 27:19, 27:19b–21, 27:22, 27:23, 27:24, 27:25, 27:25b–26, and a summary of 27:27–32 with the lament of 27:32. Many words are lost (marked “…”; words in brackets supplied by sense); Theodoret's place-names are kept as he gives them.

“How great a reward did you find from the sea?” This is enough to teach all people not to be proud of apparent prosperity, because of the change that follows; for this is what he says to Tyre too: What have you gained in so long a time from your great trade? And yet he says: “From your mixed population and your commerce you enriched all the kings of the earth. Now you have been broken in the sea, in the depth of the water; your mixed population and all your assembly have fallen in your midst, and all your oarsmen. Those who live on the islands will be gloomy over you, and their kings will be utterly astonished, and their faces will weep. Merchants from the nations will hiss at you; you have become destruction, and you will be no more forever.” Consider, he says, how your labor over trade and the arrival of all the nations profited you nothing. Like [a ship] in the untimely storm of evils, you received the blizzards of the enemy's troops like waves. For this reason all the islanders and coast-dwellers lament with their own kings, seeing the city once most illustrious suddenly made invisible and vanished; and marveling at your change into utter desolation, they will show the astonishment of their minds by hissing. “You will be no more forever” we shall understand according to the interpretation we have already given. But if another must be added to what has been said, we shall not shrink from it. We have heard the God of all saying through Jeremiah the prophet: “I will pronounce an end against a nation and against a kingdom, to uproot them and pull them down and destroy them; and if that nation turns from their evils, I will repent of the evils that I planned to do to them. And I will pronounce an end concerning a nation and a kingdom, to build and to plant it; and if they do evil before me so as not to listen to my voice, I will repent of the good things that I said I would do to them.” So the Master both pronounces sentences and releases them, and the truth does not lie. For he pronounces sentence against those who do not repent; but for those who have accepted the medicines of repentance, the sentence of punishment lies idle. This happened in the case of the Ninevites: he condemned them to utter destruction, saying, “Yet three days, and Nineveh will be overthrown”; but when they repented he received them and released the sentence. Here too, then, the change in Tyre's descendants released the sentence of perpetual punishment.

Notes and citation

Summary: Tyre's wealth profited her nothing; the “forever” of her ruin is lifted, as with Nineveh, because God releases his sentences on those who repent, and Tyre's descendants turned to God.
