Ezekiel26:5
5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD; and it shall become a spoil to the nations .
As barren sandy Islets in the midst of the Sea, good for nothing, but to dry Fishermens Nets, shalt thou be.
A prey, though the contexture of the words place this after its being made so bare, and poor, yet we are to observe, that these last words give us account how this poverty and barrenness shall come upon thy rich City; the Nations shall spoil her with thirteen years long siege, interruption of Trade, living on the quick stock, and finally taken on surrender.
Babylonians, and their Confederates, who made the Tyrians pay the reckoning.
