Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 28:3

"behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from thee;" — Ezekiel 28:3 (ASV)

Wiser than Daniel.—This is ironically spoken. Daniel was so famed for his wisdom in the great Chaldean Empire (Daniel 1:20; Daniel 2:48; Daniel 4:18; Daniel 5:11–12; Daniel 6:3, and other passages) that the report must have already reached Tyre. He had been twenty years in Nebuchadnezzar’s court when Jerusalem fell, and the siege of Tyre was five years later.
