Isaiah 23:12

Isaiah 23:12

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 23:11

Isaiah 23:13 >>

Virgin - So he calls her, because she had hitherto never borne the yoke of a conquering enemy. Zidon - Tyre may be called the daughter of Zidon, because she was first built and possessed by a colony of the Zidonians. No rest - Thither thine enemies shall pursue thee, and there shall they overtake the.
