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