Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 23:9

_ _ Whoever be the instruments in overthrowing haughty sinners, God, who has all hosts at His command, is the First Cause (Isaiah 10:5-7).

_ _ stain — rather, “to profane”; as in Exodus 31:14, the Sabbath, and other objects of religious reverence; so here, “the pride of all glory” may refer to the Tyrian temple of Hercules, the oldest in the world, according to Arrian (Isaiah 2:16); the prophet of the true God would naturally single out for notice the idol of Tyre [G. V. Smith]. It may, however, be a general proposition; the destruction of Tyre will exhibit to all how God mars the luster of whatever is haughty (Isaiah 2:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 23:1-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 23:9

The Lord — This is the Lord's own doing. To stain — God's design is by this example to abase the pride of all the potentates of the earth.
