Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - I will bring strangers, etc. These are, of course, the hosts of many nations that made up the Chaldean army (comp. the parallel of Ezekiel 30:11 and Ezekiel 31:12). The beauty of thy wisdom is that of the city on which the prince looked as having been produced by his policy.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Against the beauty of thy wisdom.--The figure seems incongruous, but it is to be remembered that the expression is only a form of designating Tyre itself. The description of the Chaldaeans as "the terrible of the nations" is repeated in Ezekiel 30:11; Ezekiel 31:12 (comp. also Ezekiel 26:7 and Isaiah 47:6; Habakkuk 1:6). The term, however, is by no means necessarily confined to them.
