- O thou:
- Tyre was situated in the Mediterranean, at the nearest entrance to it from the interior and eastern part of Asia. "Thy bordersª [are] in the midstª of the seas,ª thy buildersª° have perfectedª° thy beauty.ª" {Ezk 27:4} + "The shipsª of Tarshishª did singª° of thee in thy market:ª and thou wast replenished,ª° and made very² gloriousª°¹ in the midstª of the seas.ª" {Ezk 27:25} + "And they shall take upª° a lamentationª for¹ thee, and sayª° to thee, How¹ art thou destroyed,ª° [that wast] inhabitedª° of seafaring men,ª¹ the renownedª° city,ª which¹ wast¹ strongª in the sea,ª she¹ and her inhabitants,ª° which¹ causeª° their terrorª [to be] on all¹ that hauntª° it!" {Ezk 26:17} + "Sonª of man,ª sayª° unto the princeª of Tyrus,ª Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Because¹ thine heartª [is] lifted up,ª° and thou hast said,ª° I¹ [am] a God,ª I sitª° [in] the seatª of God,ª in the midstª of the seas;ª yet thou¹ [art] a man,ª and not¹ God,ª though thou setª° thine heartª as the heartª of God:ª ... Behold,¹ thou¹ [art] wiserª than Daniel;ª¹ there is no¹ secretª° that they can hideª° from thee:" {Ezk 28:2-3} + "Be still,ª° ye inhabitantsª° of the isle;ª thou whom the merchantsª° of Zidon,ª that pass overª° the sea,ª have replenished.ª°" {Isa 23:2}
