Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 23:15-18

Here is, I. The time fixed for the continuance of the desolations of Tyre, which were not to be perpetual desolations: Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, Isa. 23:15. So long it shall lie neglected and buried in obscurity. It was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar much about the time that Jerusalem was, and lay as long as it did in its ruins. See the folly of that proud ambitious conqueror. What the richer, what the stronger, was he for making himself master of Tyre, when all the inhabitants were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 23:18

And her merchandise, and her hire ,.... Or, "but her merchandise", &c.; not the same as before; or, however, not as carried on at the same time, but many ages after, even in the times of the Gospel; for this part of the prophecy respects the conversion of the Tyrians, in the first ages of Christianity; this is prophesied of elsewhere, Psalm 45:12 and was fulfilled in the times of the apostles, Acts 11:19 and so Kimchi and Jarchi say this is a prophecy to be fulfilled in the days of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 23:1-18

The fall of Tyre. I. THE ANCIENT FAME OF TYRO . Consecrated to Melkarth, the principal god of the city, the temple on the island, the supposed site of the ancient city, is said by Arrian to have been the most ancient within the memory of man. Ezekiel speaks of Tyre as "in the midst of the seas" ( Ezekiel 27:25 , Ezekiel 27:26 ). The Tyrians were closely connected with the Zidonians, those famous "hewers of timber" ( 1 Kings 5:6 ). And perhaps the Zidonians of Homer include... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 23:15-18

TYRE 'S RESTORATION TO PROSPERITY AND CONVERSION TO JEHOVAH . After an interval, expressed by the symbolic number of" seventy years," Tyre is to rise from her ashes, and become once more a prosperous state, resuming her former occupation of a "merchant city," and once more making great gains, which she will devote to the service of Jehovah. St. Jerome thought that this prophecy had not been accomplished in his day. If so, it cannot be said to have been accomplished yet;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 23:17-18

The pursuit of wealth culpable or praiseworthy according to the object had in view. To seek gain for gain's sake, either for the mere purpose of hoarding and accumulating, and so having the satisfaction of feeling that one is rich (Her; 'Sat.,' 1.1, 11. 66, 67), or to expend it on one's self in luxuries and enjoyments of various kinds, though perhaps beneficial to the community whereto a man belong, is injurious to his own moral character, and an offence to God. Covetousness, the apostle... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 23:18

Her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord . There is nothing intrinsically wrong or debasing in commerce. Rightly pursued, and engaged in with the view of devoting the profits made in it to good and pious ends, the commercial life may be as religious, and as acceptable to God as any other. The world has known many merchants who were Christians, in the highest sense of the word. Solomon in his best days was a merchant ( 1 Kings 9:27 , 1 Kings 9:28 ; 1 Kings 10:22 ), but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 23:18

Gain and devotion. We are reminded that— I. WE CANNOT DEVOTE TO GOD 'S SERVICE ANYTHING WE HAVE NOT HONORABLY GAINED . It may be said that the text, taken with its context (see Isaiah 23:17 ), does not sustain this thought; that, indeed, it points in the opposite direction. But in addition to such explicit prohibitions as that in Deuteronomy 23:18 , we have the whole strain and spirit of the Law of God. It is the glory of that Law that it so states,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 23:18

Commerce the handmaid of religion. "Her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness unto the Lord." This appears to be a prediction of the conversion of the Tyrians to the worship and service of the true God. "Instead of hoarding up their gains, or devoting them as presents to the temple of Hercules, as they had formerly done, they would now consecrate them to the support of true religion, "In the line of fulfillment we may note that Jesus Christ visited the neighborhood ( Matthew 15:21 );... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 23:18

And her merchandise - The prophecy here does not mean that this would take place immediately after her rebuilding, but that subsequent to the seventy years of desolation this would occur.Shall be holiness to the Lord - This undoubtedly means, that at some future period, after the rebuilding of Tyre, the true religion would prevail there, and her wealth would be devoted to his service. That the true religion prevailed at Tyre subsequently to its restoration and rebuilding there can be no doubt.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 23:18

Isaiah 23:18. And her merchandise, &c., shall be holiness to the Lord. The meaning of the prophet is extremely clear, namely, “that the time should come, after the restoration of Tyre, in which the Tyrians, out of reverence to the true God, would consecrate their wealth and gain to him, and would readily contribute that gain and wealth to the support of the teachers of true religion. In short, that the Tyrians should become converts to that religion. The reader will easily observe that... read more
