Commentary on Ezekiel 26:5
It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea predicts Tyre's reduction from commercial superpower to fishing village. For I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD seals the prophecy with divine authority. And it shall become a spoil to the nations indicates plunder by many powers. What was prosperous becomes desolate; what was proud becomes pitiful. The contrast between maritime empire and fishing nets emphasizes total reversal. God brings down proud powers and reduces them to humble subsistence. All human glory is temporary when it opposes God.
