NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “for eating to fullness and for beautiful covering[s].” sn The point of this verse, which in its blatant nationalism comes precariously close to comparing the Lord to one who controls or manages a prostitute, is that Tyre will become a subject of Israel and her God. Tyre’s commercial profits will be used to enrich the Lord’s people. |
