In the Hebrew text, the word used is "אָמַר" (amar), which is a common verb for "to say" or "to speak." It underscores the divine origin of the message, emphasizing that the following words are not merely human opinion but a declaration from the Lord Himself. This sets the tone for the seriousness and certainty of the prophecy.You shall rejoice no more The Hebrew word for "rejoice" is "שִׂישׂ" (sis), which conveys a sense of exultation and joy. Historically, Sidon was a prosperous city known for its wealth and trade, often experiencing times of great celebration and prosperity. The phrase "no more" indicates a cessation of this joy, a divine judgment that the city's days of prosperity and celebration are over. This reflects the broader biblical theme of the consequences of pride and self-reliance apart from God.O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon The term "Virgin Daughter" is a poetic expression used in the Hebrew Scriptures to personify cities or nations, often implying purity or untouched status. "Sidon" was a significant Phoenician city, known for its maritime prowess and wealth. The use of "oppressed" (Hebrew: "עָשׁוּק" - ashuq) suggests that Sidon, despite its former glory, is now under subjugation or distress. This phrase captures the tragic fall from grace, highlighting the vulnerability and humiliation of a once-proud city.Arise, cross over to Cyprus "Arise" (Hebrew: "קוּם" - qum) is a call to action, urging the people of Sidon to leave their land. "Cross over" implies a journey or escape, suggesting that the current situation is untenable. "Cyprus" (Hebrew: "כִּתִּים" - Kittim) was an island known for its strategic location and was often a place of refuge or trade. However, the implication here is that even in Cyprus, the Sidonians will not find the peace or security they seek.even there you will find no rest The word "rest" (Hebrew: "מָנוֹחַ" - manoach) signifies a place of repose or safety. The prophecy declares that the Sidonians' search for security will be futile, as divine judgment follows them. This reflects the biblical principle that true rest and peace cannot be found apart from God. The historical context suggests that despite attempts to escape or find refuge, the consequences of their actions and the divine decree will persist.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/23.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(12) Thou oppressed virgin.--Strictly speaking, the noun and adjective are incompatible, the latter conveying the sense of "defiled," or "deflowered." Till now Tyre had known no defeat. Her fortress was a virgin citadel. Now the barbarian conqueror was to rob her of that virginity.Pass over to Chittim.--With a keen irony the prophet gives a counsel which he declares will be of no avail. They may flee to Chittim (Cyprus); but the power of the Assyrians would reach them even there. Once and again the inscriptions of the Assyrian kings record how they subdued and took tribute from "Yatnan," the "island in the sea of the setting sun," which can be none other than Cyprus (e.g., Sargon in Records of the Past, vii. 26).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/23.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 12. - He said. Jehovah continues his threatenings. The oppressed virgin, daughter of Sidon - or rather, the oppressed virgin-daughter of Sidon - may he either. Tyre, which, according to some, was built by fugitives from Zidon, or Phoenicia generally, of which Zidon, as the "firstborn" (<a href="/genesis/10-15.htm">Genesis 10:15</a>), was a sort of mother. Pass over to Chittim (comp. ver. 6). Chittim (Cyprus) was a nearer refuge than Tarshish, and far more easily reached; but, on the other hand, it was much less safe. Sargon and Esarhaddon both of them exercised dominion over it; and when Abdi-Milkut, King of Sidon, fled there in the reign of the latter, the Assyrian monarch pursued him, caught him, and "cut off his head" (G. Smith, 'Eponym Canon,' p. 137). Still, it was so often sought by princes flying from Phoenicia when attacked by Assyria, that cuneiform scholars call it "the usual refuge of the Phoenician kings" ('Transactions of Bibl. Archaeology Society,' vol. 4. p. 86). There also shalt thou have no rest. Cyprus submitted to Sargon ('Records of the Past,' vol. 7. p. 26), and again to Esarhaddon (ibid., vol. 8. p. 108). It was included in the dominions of Asshur-bani-pal (G. Smith, 'History of Asshur-bani-pal,' pp. 31, 32). After Nebuchadnezzar's conquest of Tyre, it was annexed by Egypt (Herod., 2:182), on the conquest of which country by Cambyses it became Persian. The Phoenicians had "no rest" there after Assyria had once found her way to the island. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/23-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>He said, וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say “You shall rejoice לַעְל֑וֹז (la‘·lō·wz) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5937.htm">Strong's 5937: </a> To jump for, joy, exult no לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no more, תוֹסִ֥יפִי (ṯō·w·sî·p̄î) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3254.htm">Strong's 3254: </a> To add, augment O oppressed הַֽמְעֻשָּׁקָ֞ה (ham·‘uš·šā·qāh) Article | Verb - Pual - Participle - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6231.htm">Strong's 6231: </a> To press upon, oppress, defraud, violate, overflow virgin בְּתוּלַ֣ת (bə·ṯū·laṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1330.htm">Strong's 1330: </a> A virgin, sometimes, a bride daughter בַּת־ (baṯ-) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1323.htm">Strong's 1323: </a> A daughter of Sidon. צִיד֗וֹן (ṣî·ḏō·wn) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6721.htm">Strong's 6721: </a> Sidon -- a Phoenician city on the Mediterranean coast, also a son of Canaan Get up ק֣וּמִי (qū·mî) Verb - Qal - Imperative - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6965.htm">Strong's 6965: </a> To arise, stand up, stand and cross over עֲבֹ֔רִי (‘ă·ḇō·rî) Verb - Qal - Imperative - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5674.htm">Strong's 5674: </a> To pass over, through, or by, pass on to Cyprus— כִּתִּים֙ (kit·tîm) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3794.htm">Strong's 3794: </a> Kittim -- a son of Javan, also his descendants and their land even גַּם־ (gam-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1571.htm">Strong's 1571: </a> Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and there שָׁ֖ם (šām) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8033.htm">Strong's 8033: </a> There, then, thither you will find no לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no rest.” יָנ֥וּחַֽ (yā·nū·aḥ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5117.htm">Strong's 5117: </a> To rest, settle down <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/23-12.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 23:12 He said You shall rejoice no more (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/23-11.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 23:11"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 23:11" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/23-13.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 23:13"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 23:13" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
