Context — A Prophecy against Tyre
12They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water.
13So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard.
14I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’
15This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst? 16All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you.Cross References

Ezekiel 26:14 Summary
Ezekiel 26:14 means that God is going to completely destroy the city of Tyre, leaving it empty and useless, like a bare rock where fishermen can only spread their nets. This shows us that God is powerful and serious about judging sin, as seen in other parts of the Bible like Jeremiah 25:11-12. It also teaches us to trust in God's sovereignty and wisdom, knowing that His plans are always good, even when we don't understand them, as promised in Romans 8:28. By looking at Tyre's destruction, we are reminded to stay humble and dependent on God, recognizing that all our accomplishments are temporary and can be taken away, but God's kingdom is eternal (1 Peter 1:24-25).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for a city to be made a 'bare rock' as mentioned in Ezekiel 26:14?
This phrase signifies a complete devastation and desolation of the city, leaving it devoid of any life or prosperity, similar to the desolation prophesied in Isaiah 13:20 (Isaiah 13:20).
Why does God say that Tyre will never be rebuilt in Ezekiel 26:14?
God's statement emphasizes the severity and finality of the judgment upon Tyre, underscoring His sovereign authority and the irreversible nature of His decrees, as seen in other prophecies like Jeremiah 25:11-12.
How does the image of spreading fishing nets in Ezekiel 26:14 relate to the city's destruction?
The image of fishing nets being spread on the bare rock that was once Tyre symbolizes the city's transformation from a thriving metropolis to a barren, useless place, devoid of its former glory and purpose, much like the desolation described in Lamentations 1:1-4.
What role does God's sovereignty play in the prophecy of Ezekiel 26:14?
God's sovereignty is central to the prophecy, as He declares His absolute authority and control over the fate of Tyre, emphasizing that His word is unchangeable and His decrees are irreversible, as affirmed in Psalm 33:11 and Isaiah 46:10.
Reflection Questions
- How does the prophecy of Tyre's destruction in Ezekiel 26:14 relate to the concept of God's judgment in our lives today?
- What can we learn from the example of Tyre about the dangers of pride and the importance of humility, as warned in Proverbs 16:18?
- In what ways can we apply the principle of God's sovereignty, as seen in Ezekiel 26:14, to our own lives and circumstances, trusting in His goodness and wisdom as expressed in Romans 8:28?
- How does the desolation of Tyre serve as a reminder of the transience of human achievements and the eternal nature of God's kingdom, as taught in 1 Peter 1:24-25?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 26:14
And I will make thee like the top of a rock,.... Smooth and bare; [See comments on Ezekiel 26:4]: and thou shall be a place to spread nets upon; [See comments on Ezekiel 26:5]: thou shalt be built no
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 26:14
And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. I will make thee like the top of a rock.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 26:14
,5. Thou shalt be built no more; either not this long time, or else not built in greatness and glory, or not raised to be a kingdom, or not by the inhabitants of old Tyre, or not with the same laws, customs, and usages; indeed, though there was a city of that name built, yet it was built on the continent, and in propriety of speech was another city, not old Tyre.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 26:14
Ezekiel 26:14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be [a place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.Ver. 14. Thou shalt be built no more,] i.e., Not in haste, and not at all by the same inhabitants, nor with the like neatness and celebrity. Some say it was not built in the same place with Palaetyrus, or old Tyre; yet was it a famous city again, near unto which our Saviour wrought miracles, in which Paul abode seven days with the brethren. Here Origen died, Ulpian the great lawyer was born, &c. Of this city read Gul. Tyrius, de Bello Sacro, lib. xiii. cap. 1. Jerome. Ulp. Digest. Tit. de Cens.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 26:14
Verse 14. Thou shalt be built no more] If this refer to Nebuchadnezzar's capture of the city, old Tyre must be intended: that was destroyed by him, and never rebuilt. But I doubt whether the whole of this prophecy do not refer to the taking of Tyre by Alexander, three hundred years after its capture by Nebuchadnezzar. Indeed it may include more recent conquests of this important city. It went through a variety of vicissitudes till 1289, when it and the neighbouring towns were sacked and ravaged by the Mamelukes. Mr. Maundrell, who visited this place, says, "it is a Babel of broken walls, pillars, vaults, c., there being not so much as one entire house left! Its present inhabitants are only a few poor wretches, harbouring themselves in the vaults, and subsisting chiefly on fishing who seem to be preserved in this place by Divine Providence as a visible argument how God has fulfilled his word concerning Tyre, that it should be the top of a rock, a place for fishers to dry their nets on."
