A place of broad rivers and streams,
In which no1 galley with oars will sail,
Nor majestic ships pass by
They could not strengthen their mast,
They could not spread the sail.
Then the prey of great plunder is divided;
The lame take the prey.
aThe people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.

Isaiah 33:23
Tacklings - He directs his speech to the Assyrians; and having designed their army under the notion of a gallant ship, Isaiah 33:21, he here represents their undone condition, by the metaphor of a ship, tossed in a tempestuous sea, having her cables broke, and all her tacklings loose, so that she could have no benefit of her masts and sails; and therefore is quickly swallowed up. The lame - They shall leave so many spoils behind them, that there shall be enough left for the lame, who come last to the spoil.
| << Isaiah 33:22 | Isaiah 33:24 >> |
