Context of Isaiah 23:10
8Who planned this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of earth? 9Adonai-Tzva’ot has planned it, to defile the pride of all glory, to shame all the honored of earth. Overflow through your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish! There is no restraint any more. 11His hand has stretched out over the sea, He has shaken the kingdoms. Adonai has given a commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy its strongholds. 12He said, “You will exult no more.” O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus— even there you will have no rest.

Commentaries on Isaiah 23:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10O daughter of Tarshish - Tyre is called the daughter of Tarshish; perhaps because, Tyre being ruined, Tarshish was become the superior city, and might be considered as the metropolis of the Tyrian people; or rather because of the close connection and perpetual intercourse between them, according to that latitude of signification in which the Hebrews use the words son and daughter to express any sort of conjunction and dependence whatever. מזח mezach, a…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Pass through thy land as a river - This verse has been very variously understood.

Everything, says he, would be leveled, and the field would not be distinguishable from the city. Grotius thus renders it: Pass to some one of thy…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10Cultivate your land like the Nile: This difficult phrase means either: that the sailors returning from Tarshish were invited to loot the ruined Tyre; or that the people of Tarshish had to return to farming to earn a living, since Tyre was destroyed and trading was no longer possible.Read the comment
