Commentary on Isaiah 23:12

Theological / Devotional

No more rejoice. The final doom of the Phoenicians is here pictured. Whatever they might choose to do, they would not succeed. Heretofore Sidon had been undefiled — she had been able to protect herself against invasion. Now, however, she was to be stripped of her robe of virginity and would be reduced to shame and reproach before all the world. Should the Phoenicians flee to Chittim (Cyprus; see on v. 1) they would find no rest, for there, too, the hand of the enemy would lay hold of them. There would be no escape.
