On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The utter ruin of Tyre is here represented in very strong and lively figures, which are exceedingly affecting. See how high, how great, Tyre had been, how little likely ever to come to this. The remembrance of men's former grandeur and plenty is a great aggravation of their present disgrace and poverty.
