Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 28:24

"And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are round about them, that did despite unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 28:24 (ASV)

A pricking brier. —The language refers back to the threat of Numbers 33:55. Israel had long had such bitter experience of its reality. Nothing is said of the special sins of Zidon, and very little of the detail of her overthrow; these were already sufficiently known, or else included in what has been said of Tyre. It is noticeable that no such utter desolation is foretold as in the former case.
