Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 31:15

_ _ covered the deep — as mourners cover their heads in token of mourning, “I made the deep that watered the cedar” to wrap itself in mourning for him. The waters of the deep are the tributary peoples of Assyria (Revelation 17:15).

_ _ fainted — literally, were “faintness” (itself); more forcible than the verb.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 31:10-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 31:15

He — The king of Assyria. A mourning — There was much lamentation. Fainted — Probably there were portentous signs in the sea, and great waters, and the rivers, and among the trees.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 31:15

Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I (g) covered the deep for him, and I restrained its floods, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

(g) The deep waters that caused him to mount so high (meaning his great abundance and pomp) will now lament as though they were covered with sackcloth.

Revelation 18:9-11 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, ...

Revelation 18:18-19 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great city! ... And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
