Commentary on Isaiah 23:9

Theological / Devotional

The Lord of hosts. Isaiah answers the question of v. 8. Tyre proudly vaunts herself against the Lord of heaven, setting herself up as greater than God (Eze. 28:2-8), but the Lord will reduce her to humiliation and shame (see Isa. 13:11 ; 14:24, 26, 27). The destruction of Tyre will be a demonstration to all of how the Lord humbles the pride and the haughtiness of men.
