Discovery BoxIsaiah 23:7 
Context23:7 Is this really your boisterous city 1
whose origins are in the distant past, 2
and whose feet led her to a distant land to reside?
Isaiah 37:11
Context37:11 Certainly you have heard how the kings of Assyria have annihilated all lands. 3 Do you really think you will be rescued? 4
1 tn Heb “Is this to you, boisterous one?” The pronoun “you” is masculine plural, like the imperatives in v. 6, so it is likely addressed to the Egyptians and residents of the coast. “Boisterous one” is a feminine singular form, probably referring to the personified city of Tyre.
2 tn Heb “in the days of antiquity [is] her beginning.”
3 tn Heb “Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, annihilating them.”
4 tn Heb “and will you be rescued?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “No, of course not!”
