This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Thy wares, brought home from all coasts.



Went forth out of the seas; were landed, brought on shore for the mart.



Thou filledst; there was enough to supply to the full.



Many people; numerous, stately, sumptuous nations, though their prodigality was great, thou furnishedst them, hadst wares rich and stately enough for all of them. Such influence had thy vast trade, that not only meaner men and subjects, but kings themselves, were made more wealthy by it.



Of the earth, i.e. all kings of the known world, or kings of nations far off as well as neighbouring kings.



The multitude of thy riches; the greatness of thy trade, the variety of thy wares brought from all parts were thy own riches, and enriched all thou didst trade with; kings were enriched by customs and tolls paid to them, by the enriching their subjects, who thereby were fitter to pay taxes, or by furnishing their treasuries with all the peculiar treasures of kings, the rare and precious jewels which they, esteem; and since we know some kings did trade too, by this Tyre increased their wealth.
