19 "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will make Tyre an uninhabited ruin, like many others. I will bury you beneath the terrible waves of enemy attack. Great seas will swallow you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 26:19
Commentary on Ezekiel 26:15-21
(Read Ezekiel 26:15-21)

Every discovery of the fulfilment of a Scripture prophecy, is like a miracle to confirm our faith. All that is earthly is vanity and vexation. Those who now have the most established prosperity, will soon be out of sight and forgotten.
