Isaiah 23:11

Isaiah 23:11

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 23:10

Isaiah 23:12 >>

He - The Lord. Shook - Heb. he made the kingdoms to tremble; the neighbouring and confederate kingdoms, who might justly quake at her fall, for the dreadfulness and unexpectedness of the thing; and because Tyre was a bulwark, and a refuge to them. A commandment - Hath put this design into the hearts of her enemies, and given them courage to attempt, and strength to execute it.
