Isaiah 23:10

Isaiah 23:10

8 Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, ^athe crowning city,
Whose merchants are princes,
Whose traders are the honorable of the earth?

9 The Lord of hosts has ^apurposed it,
To¹ bring to dishonor the ^bpride of all glory,
To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

10 Overflow through your land like¹ the River,
O daughter of Tarshish;
There is no more¹ strength.

11 He stretched out His hand over the sea,
He shook the kingdoms;
The Lord has given a commandment ^aagainst Canaan
To destroy its strongholds.

12 And He said, “You will rejoice no more,
O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, ^across over to Cyprus;
There also you will have no rest.”

13 Behold, the land of the ^aChaldeans,
This people which was not;
Assyria founded it for ^bwild beasts of the desert.
They set up its towers,
They raised up its palaces,
And brought it to ruin.

14 ^aWail, you ships of Tarshish!
For your strength is laid waste.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 23:9

Isaiah 23:11 >>

Pass through - Tarry no longer in thy own territories, but flee through them, into other countries, for safety and relief. As a river - Swiftly, lest you be prevented. Tarshish - O Tyre, which might well be called daughter of Tarshish, that is, of the sea, as that word is used, Isaiah 23:1, and elsewhere, because it was an island, and therefore as it were, born of the sea, and nourished and brought up by it.
