Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 37:22

_ _ Transition to poetry: in parallelism.

_ _ virgin ... daughter — honorable terms. “Virgin” implies that the city is, as yet, inviolate. “Daughter” is an abstract collective feminine personification of the population, the child of the place denoted (see on Isaiah 23:10; see on Isaiah 1:8). Zion and her inhabitants.

_ _ shaken ... head — in scorn (Psalms 22:7; Psalms 109:25; Matthew 27:39). With us to shake the head is a sign of denial or displeasure; but gestures have different meanings in different countries (Isaiah 58:9; Ezekiel 25:6; Zephaniah 2:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 37:21-38.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 37:22

This [is] the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The (o) virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised, [and] derided thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

(o) Whom God had chosen to himself as a chaste virgin, and over whom he had care to preserve her from the lusts of the tyrant, as a father would have over his daughter.
