Verse 7<\/span>. I will bring strangers upon thee<\/B><\/I>] The Chaldeans.<\/P> <\/p>\n Will bring; <\/B>cause to come. <\/P> Strangers; <\/B>a foreign people, called strangers for their multitude, and to intimate how little regard they would have to the Tyrian glory; these strangers were the Babylonian forces. The terrible of the nations<\/I>; a fierce, violent, and cruel nation, Hab 1:7<\/span>,8<\/span>. <\/P> The beauty of thy wisdom; <\/B>those beautiful things, in which thy wisdom appeared; either thy noble, regular, and strong buildings, or thy beautiful well-stored arsenal and army, or the unparalleled rarities, which all but rudest soldiers would esteem, and spare these monuments of thy wisdom. Defile; pour contempt and stain. <\/P> Thy brightness; <\/B>thy royal dignity, depose thee from thy throne, and kill thy authority and thy person. <\/P> <\/p>\n 7. therefore<\/B>apodosis. <\/P> strangers . . . terrible ofthe nations<\/B>the Chaldean foreigners noted for their ferocity(Eze 30:11<\/span>; Eze 31:12<\/span>).<\/P> against the beauty of thywisdom<\/B>that is, against thy beautiful possessions acquired bythy wisdom on which thou pridest thyself (Eze28:3-5<\/span>). <\/P> defile thy brightness<\/B>obscurethe brightness of thy kingdom.<\/P><\/p>\n Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers upon thee<\/strong>,…. The Chaldean army, who not only lived at a distance from Tyre, but were unknown to them, not trading with them; nor are they mentioned among the merchants of Tyre: these, in the mystical sense, may design the angels that shall pour out the vials on the antichristian states, the kings of Protestant nations:<\/p>\n the terrible of the nations<\/strong>; as the Babylonians were, very formidable to the world, having conquered many countries, and their armies consisting of men of all nations, mighty, courageous, and expert in war; and alike formidable will the Protestant princes be to the antichristian powers, when they shall with their united strength attack them:<\/p>\n and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom<\/strong>; their beautiful city and spacious buildings, the palaces of their king and nobles, their walls and towers erected with so much art and skill; or their forces, the men of war within their city, which made their beauty complete, so well skilled in military affairs, Eze 27:10<\/span>, or their ships, and the merchandise of them, and the curious things brought in them: even everything that was rich and valuable, the effect of their art and wisdom: all which may be applied to the city of Rome, when it will be taken, ransacked, and burnt, Re 18:8<\/span>:<\/p>\n and they shall defile thy brightness<\/strong>; profane thy crown, cast down thy throne, destroy thy kingdom, and all that is great and glorious in thee; thus the whore of Rome shall be made bare and desolate,<\/p>\n Re 17:16<\/span>. The Targum renders it,<\/p>\n “the brightness of thy terror;”<\/p>\n which shall no more strike the nations, or affect them.<\/p>\n (7) Against the beauty of thy wisdom.<\/strong>The figure seems incongruous, but it is to be remembered that the expression is only a form of designating Tyre itself. The description of the Chaldans as the terrible of the nations is repeated in Eze. 30:11<\/span>; Eze. 31:12<\/span> (comp. also Eze. 26:7<\/span> and Isa. 47:6<\/span>; Hab. 1:6<\/span>). The term, however, is by no means necessarily confined to them.<\/p>\n 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> The terrible of the nations <\/strong> This is a strong name for the Chaldean army, which shall destroy the beautiful works produced by Tyrian wisdom and prove that the prince is not God, but man (Eze 30:11<\/span>; Eze 32:12<\/span>; Hab 1:6-10<\/span>). She is intrenched “in the heart of the seas” (Eze 28:8<\/span>), but that which she supposes to be her greatest protection shall be her grave.<\/p>\n Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. Behold, therefore I will briny strangers upon thee.<\/strong> ] Who shall not at all regard thy great wisdom, but grasp after thy wealth, and suck thy blood for it. Neither will they favour thee the more because thou art a king, but slay thee the rather, and say, Hunc ipsum quaerimus,<\/em> This we seek ourselves, This is the right bird, as that soldier said who slew the most valiant King of Sweden at the battle of Lutzen.<\/p>\n strangers = aliens, or foreigners: the Babylonians were noted for their barbarity. Compare Eze 30:11; Eze 31:12. Isa 1:7; Isa 25:2). <\/p>\n defile = profane. <\/p>\n brightness = splendour: occurs only here, and Eze 28:17. See note on Gen 3:1 and App-19. <\/p>\n I will: Eze 26:7-14, Isa 23:8, Isa 23:9, Amo 3:6 <\/p>\n the terrible: Eze 30:11, Eze 31:12, Eze 32:12, Deu 28:49, Deu 28:50, Isa 25:3, Isa 25:4, Dan 7:7, Hab 1:6-8 <\/p>\n defile: Eze 28:15-17 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Eze 7:24 – I will bring Eze 28:10 – by the Dan 2:31 – terrible<\/p>\n Eze 28:7. Strangers means persons of another country, and the terrible kind of people of such a country as that would be the kind used in the matter. The wisdom of the king of Tyrus will not he any defense against the sword of the enemy.<\/p>\n Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
