Gill's Notes on the Bible

Howl, ye ships of Tarshish,.... As in Isaiah 23:1.

Isaiah 23:1- ::

for your strength is laid waste; meaning Tyre, a strong seaport, where their ships were safe, and always found vent for their goods and merchandise; and so it was the strength and support of their country; but was now destroyed, and therefore was matter of lamentation and mourning.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

“Howl ... Isaiah 23:1.

For your strength - That which has been your support and strength; to wit, Tyre (compare Ezekiel 26:15-18).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 23:14. Howl, ye ships — The Prophet Ezekiel hath enlarged upon this part of the same subject with great force and elegance: -

"Thus saith the Lord JEHOVAH concerning Tyre: -

At the sound of thy fall, at the cry of the wounded,

At the great slaughter in the midst of thee, shall

not the islands tremble?

And shall not all the princes of the sea descend from

their thrones,

And lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered

garments?

They shall clothe themselves with trembling, they shall

sit on the ground;

They shall tremble every moment, they shall be astonished

at thee.

And they shall utter a lamentation over thee, and shall say

unto thee:

How art thou lost, thou that wast inhabited from the seas!

The renowned city, that was strong in the sea, she and her

inhabitants!

That struck with terror all her neighbours!

Now shall the coasts tremble in the day of thy fall,

And the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy

departure."

Ezekiel 26:15-18.
