Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

They are people of a strange language, which the king of Tyre himself, wise as he is, perhaps understands not. They are the terrible of the nations; it was an army made up of many nations, and it was at this time the most formidable both for strength and fury.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

), against all those things which thou gloriest in as thy beauty and the production of thy wisdom. Note, It is just with God that our enemies should make that their prey which we have made our pride. The king of Tyre's palace, his treasury, his city, his navy, his army, these he glories in as his brightness, these, he thinks, made him illustrious and glorious as a god on earth.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

therefore--apodosis. strangers . . . terrible of the nations--the Chaldean foreigners noted for their ferocity (Eze 30:11; 31:12). against the beauty of thy wisdom--that is, against thy beautiful possessions acquired by thy wisdom on which thou pridest thyself (Eze 28:3-5). defile thy brightness--obscure the brightness of thy kingdom.
