Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 28

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

In Ezekiel 28:2, the reason for Tyre’s punishment is set forth. What is it?
Did the wisdom of Tyre save it from excess pride (Ezekiel 28:5)?
As a result of its arrogance, what is to become of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:7-8)?
The prophet (Ezekiel 28:12) is then told to dirge the king of Tyre; why is he singled out (Ezekiel 28:13-15)?
Other than the “arrogance” and the excess confidence and wisdom (Ezekiel 28:17), what other “moral failures” are ascribed to Tyre?
And, having “dealt with” Tyre, to what sister city does the prophecy turn (Ezekiel 28:21)?
What is to become of Sidon (Ezekiel 28:23-24)?
The thesis of the various prophecies regarding the “neighbors” of Judea and Israel is set forth in Ezekiel 28:25-26: it holds forth promise for the one and the punitive for the other — and for what reason?
