Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

26:2 Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken [that was] the {b} gates of the people: she is turned to me: I shall be {c} replenished, [now] she is laid waste:
(b) That is, the famous city Jerusalem to which all people resorted.
(c) My riches and fame will increase: thus the wicked rejoice at their fall by whom they may have any profit or advantage.

WES:

26:2 Because - Probably God revealed this to the prophet as soon as these insulting Tyrians spoke it. The gates - The great mart of nations, people from all parts. She is turned - The trading interest will turn to me.

MHC:

26:1-14 To be secretly pleased with the death or decay of others, when we are likely to get by it; or with their fall, when we may thrive upon it, is a sin that easily besets us, yet is not thought so bad as really it is. But it comes from a selfish, covetous principle, and from that love of the world as our happiness, which the love of God expressly forbids. He often blasts the projects of those who would raise themselves on the ruin of others. The maxims most current in the trading world, are directly opposed to the law of God. But he will show himself against the money-loving, selfish traders, whose hearts, like those of Tyre, are hardened by the love of riches. Men have little cause to glory in things which stir up the envy and rapacity of others, and which are continually shifting from one to another; and in getting, keeping, and spending which, men provoke that God whose wrath turns joyous cities into ruinous heaps.
