And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease, &c.] As this city abounded with riches, so with carnal mirth and pleasure; it was a “joyous city”, (<232307>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 thy 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, (<661822>Revelation 18:22).
