Ezekiel 28:1
The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, (Ezekiel 28:1)
The word of the Lord.
 Chapter 28 consists of three sections. The first (vs. 1-10) is a prophecy against the prince of Tyre, whose fall is traced to his insufferable pride and arrogance. The second section (vs. 11-19) is a lamentation upon the king of Tyre. This properly turns out to be a digression to treat of the real ruler of Tyre, namely Satan. The principles governing such a deviation are dealt with in the comments under that section. The third and shortest section (vs. 20-26) is a prophecy against Sidon, the other principal Phoenician city.
