Ezekiel 27:12-23 Tarshish was your merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead… It is the wisdom of a nation to encourage art and industry, and not to bear hard upon the handicraft-tradesman; for it contributes much to the wealth and honour of a nation to send abroad "wares of their own making," which may bring them in the "multitude of riches." ( M. Henry,) Parallel Verses KJV: Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs. |
