Ezekiel 28:15

_ _ perfect — prosperous [Grotius], and having no defect. So Hiram was a sample of the Tyrian monarch in his early days of wisdom and prosperity (1 Kings 5:7, etc.).

_ _ till iniquity ... in thee — Like the primeval man thou hast fallen by abusing God’s gifts, and so hast provoked God’s wrath.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 28:11-19.
