Isaiah 23:11 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

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.

Isaiah 23:11

11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
