Isaiah 23:8 Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes… It is not that individuals may be enriched, — that is only an accidental result, one of the minor consequences; the real object on the part of God, the great result to be achieved, is and will be this: that every man on the face of the whole earth may be supplied with what he needs, in body, mind, and spirit, to the end that he may stand at last clothed in the original beauty and excellence, the likeness of which has for so many ages been lost from the earth. (W. H. Murray.) Parallel Verses KJV: Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? |
