The miserable overthrow of Tyre15. Her restoration and unfaithfulness Is this your jubilant city This phrase begins with a rhetorical question, drawing attention to the city of Tyre, known for its wealth and prosperity. The Hebrew word for "jubilant" (עַלִּיזָה, 'alizah) conveys a sense of exultation and celebration. Historically, Tyre was a major Phoenician port city, renowned for its commerce and vibrant culture. The question implies a contrast between Tyre's past glory and its current or impending downfall, inviting reflection on the fleeting nature of earthly riches and the consequences of pride. whose origin is from antiquity whose feet have taken her to settle in far-off lands? Her own feet shall carry her.--The English version (tenable grammatically) points to the wanderings of exile. Another rendering, her feet are wont to carry her . . . is also legitimate, and fits in better with the context, which paints the past glory of Tyre in contrast with her coming calamities.

Verse 7. - Is this your joyous city? literally, your joyous one; i.e. Can this wretched heap of ruins be the rich and joyous Tyre? Whose antiquity is of ancient days. Though regarded as less ancient than Zidon (Justin, 18:3), Tyro nevertheless claimed a very remote antiquity. Herodotus was told (about B.C. 450) that its temple of Hercules (Melkarth) had been built two thousand three hundred years previously (Herod., 2:44). Q. Curtius makes the city to have been founded by Agenor, the father of Cadmus, who was supposed to have lived three hundred years before the Trojan War ('Vit. Alex.,' 4:4). It must be noted, however, on the other hand, that there is no mention at all of Tyro in Homer, and none in Scripture until the time of Joshua (Joshua 19:29), about B.C. 1300. Her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn (so Lowth, Rosenmüller, Gesenius, Ewald, Kay). Others render the passage, "whose feet were wont to carry her afar off to sojourn." In the one case the coming flight and exile, in the other the past commercial enterprise of the city, is pointed at.Parallel Commentaries ...
