Ezekiel 28:19 Summary

[Ezekiel 28:19 tells us that the king of Tyre's pride and corrupt ways led to his downfall, and that he will be forgotten. This verse teaches us that our actions have consequences, and that pride and corruption can lead to destruction (as seen in Proverbs 16:18). We should strive to live humble, honest lives, and remember that our legacy is not just about what we achieve, but about how we achieve it (Colossians 3:23-24). By living with integrity and humility, we can avoid the same fate as the king of Tyre and build a lasting legacy that honors God.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for the nations to be 'appalled' over someone?

According to Ezekiel 28:19, the nations who know the king of Tyre are appalled over him, meaning they are shocked and horrified by his downfall, much like the reaction of the nations in Isaiah 13:19 when Babylon fell.

Why did the king of Tyre come to a 'horrible end'?

The king's pride and corrupt ways led to his downfall, as stated in Ezekiel 28:17, where it says his heart grew proud of his beauty and he corrupted his wisdom because of his splendor, ultimately leading to his destruction, similar to the fate of Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12-15.

Will the king of Tyre be remembered again?

According to Ezekiel 28:19, the king of Tyre 'will be no more,' indicating that his legacy and memory will be lost, much like the forgotten nations in Psalm 9:17.

What can we learn from the king of Tyre's demise?

We can learn that pride and corruption lead to destruction, as seen in Proverbs 16:18, which says 'pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall,' and that our actions have consequences, as stated in Galatians 6:7-8.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:19

All that have heard, seen, or formerly known thy riches, power, allies, wisdom, and vigilance, shall be astonished at thee; be amazed at the certain news of thy great fall, from greatest glory to greatest reproach.

Ezekiel 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more.Ver. 19.
