Ezekiel27:4
4 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
Weak Borders, which an Enemy easily breaks through, are a great defect in a state; well Tyre, thou art well secured here, thine are in the Sea that surrounds and secureth thee.
Thy first founders, whoever they were; Agenor King of Phaenice chose wisely to build a City in safety; or by Builders may be meant such, who in after times did add to the first Foundation: These were Masters of their Art, and added this to the Natural strength, and beauty of the place, thus thou art perfected at home.
Marginal references: Heb. heart.
