"And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard." — Ezekiel 26:13 (ASV)
And I will cause the noise of your songs to cease
As this city abounded with riches, so with carnal mirth and pleasure; it was a "joyous city", (Isaiah 23:7) , the inhabitants lived merrily and jovially; were much given to music, which was very diverting and amusing to foreigners that traded with them; but now it would be all over with them; there would be no more songs, nor any to sing them: and the sound of your harps shall be no more heard ;
neither vocal nor instrumental music; and this will be one day the case of Rome, of which Tyre was a type, (Revelation 18:22) .
