Vers. 7. Is not this that your glorious City? her antiquity is of ancient days: her own feet shall lead her a far off to be a sojourner.
Vers. 7. Is not this that your glorious Citie? her antiquitie is of ancient daies: her owne feete shall leade her a far off to be a soiourner.
The Prophet advanceth his stile, and insults yet further against Tyre. He disdains her pride, in that she gloried in the antiquity of her name: he is bold then we see to confirm his speech, which to any mans reason might seem incredible. For who doubts but that this prophecy was scorned: first, the power and strength of Tyre was invincible, and her wealth as a wall of brass. Well, Isaiah is so much the more bold and confident, and denounceth a certain destruction to befall her: and albeit she was the most ancient amongst other Cities,1 and in regard thereof, every one applauded her: yet all this should not prevent her certain ruin and downfall.
