Isaiah 23:12

And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.

And he said. "He," God.

No more rejoice - riotously ().

O thou oppressed virgin - `deflowered virgin (Lowth): laying aside the figure, thou city taken by storm. The Arabs compare a city never taken to an undefiled virgin, (cf. , etc.)

Daughter of Zidon - Tyre; or else, sons of Zidon; i:e., the whole land and people of Phoenicia (note, ) (Maurer).

Chittim - Citium in Cyprus ().

There also shalt thou have no rest - thy colonies, having been harshly treated by thee, will now repay thee in kind (note, ). But Vitringa refers it to the calamities which befell the Tyrians in their settlements subsequently-namely, Sicily, Corcyra, Carthage, and Spain, all flowing from the original curse of Noah against the posterity of Canaan ().
