Isaiah 23:14

Howl, ye ships of Tarshish ,.... As in Isaiah 23:1 . See Gill on Isaiah 23:1 ,

for your strength is laid waste ; meaning Tyre, a strong seaport, where their ships were safe, and always found vent for their goods and merchandise; and so it was the strength and support of their country; but was now destroyed, and therefore was matter of lamentation and mourning.
