Isaiah 23:4
_ _ Zidon — called on, as being the parent country of Tyre (Isaiah 23:12), and here equivalent to Phoenicia in general, to feel the shame (as it was esteemed in the East) of being now as childless as if she never had any. “I (no more now) travail, nor bring forth,” etc. “Strength of the sea,” that is, stronghold, namely, New Tyre, on a rock (as “Tyre” means) surrounded by the sea (Ezekiel 26:4, Ezekiel 26:14-17; so Venice was called “Bride of the sea”; Zechariah 9:3). |
Isaiah 23:4
Zidon — Zidon was a great city near Tyre, strongly united to her by commerce and league, and called by some the mother of Tyre, which they say, was built and first inhabited by a colony of the Sidonians. The sea — That part of the sea in which Tyre was, and from which ships and men were sent into all countries. The strength — Tyre might be called the strength of the sea, because it defendeth that part of the sea from piracies and injuries. I travel not — I, who was so fruitful, that I sent forth colonies into other countries (of which Carthage was one), am now barren and desolate. |

Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the (h) sea hath spoken, [even] the strength of the sea, saying, I (i) travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish young men, [nor] bring up virgins.
(h) That is, Tyrus, which was the chief part of the sea.
(i) I have no people left in me, and am as a barren woman, that never had children. |

Jeremiah 47:3-4 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong [horses], at the rushing of his chariots, [and at] the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to [their] children for feebleness of hands; ... Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, [and] to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
Ezekiel 26:3-6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. ... And her daughters which [are] in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Hosea 9:11-14 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. ... Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
