Isaiah 33:23 Your tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail… The abrupt transition from the glorious future to the present or the past, is somewhat surprising at this point. It is not Assyria but Zion which is compared to an unseaworthy ship. (Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)Seems to describe the fate of a hostile ship. (Prof. A. B. Davidson, LL. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. |
