The ‘king’ of Tyre, to whom the foregoing ten verses were addressed, was doubtless a historical figure. But it is not certain that we ought to read verses 12-19 in the same connexion; the exaggerated phrases would suggest a rhetorical apostrophe to the Tyrian god Melkarth (‘King of the City’). Further, it seems evident that the prophet identifies him (local king or local god) with Satan, or some other fallen angel; cf. the reference to Lucifer in Is. 14.12. [2] Literally, ‘the seal of similitude’. The Latin, like the other versions, gives a literal rendering of a confessedly obscure phrase in the Hebrew. The noun translated ‘similitude’ occurs only here. It is the verbal noun of a verb meaning to regulate, to adjust, to put in a right proportion. There are nineteen occurrences of the verb in Scripture, and nine of these are in chapter 18 above or in chapter 33 below. It seems best, then, to assume that we have here a cross-reference. The equitableness or considerateness of Almighty God in punishing the just man who has turned sinner is illustrated by his treatment of the fallen Angel, who is therefore described as a seal or token of (his) considerateness. [3] Literally, ‘holes’ (or just possibly ‘flutes’). If the text is right, a niche meant for a god’s image is perhaps the nearest tolerable meaning. [4] Literally, ‘stones of fire’. But no plausible suggestion has been made as to what ‘stones of fire’ could mean, and a very slight alteration in the Hebrew word would give the sense of ‘wheels’, readily understandable in view of numerous passages (e.g. 10.6 above).
