Ezekiel 28

Commentary

Ezekiel's prophecy against the king of Tyre is a powerful reminder of the dangers of hubris and the transience of earthly power. The imagery of the king as a proud but fragile being, vulnerable to destruction like any mortal, highlights the foolishness of putting trust in one's own strength and abilities. At the same time, the message offers hope for those who turn to God in humility, recognizing their place in the grand scheme of things. Ultimately, the fate of the king of Tyre serves as a cautionary tale for all who would elevate themselves to the status of gods.
