Be thou ashamed, O Zidon - Tyre is called Isaiah 23:12, the daughter of Sidon. "The Sidonians," says Justin, 18:3, "when their city was taken by the king of Ascalon, betook themselves to their ships, and landed, and built by Tyre." Sidon, as the mother city is supposed to be deeply affected with the calamity of her daughter.
Nor bring up virgins "Nor educated virgins" - veromamti ; so an ancient MS. Of Dr. Kennicott' s prefixing the vau , which refers to the negative preceding, and is equivalent to velo . See Deuteronomy 23:6; Proverbs 30:3. Two of my own MSS. have vau in the margin.
