Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 37:22

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

22. Transition to poetry: in parallelism. virgin . . . daughter —honorable terms. "Virgin" implies that the city is, as yet, inviolate. "Daughter" is an abstract collective feminine personification of the population, the child of the place denoted (see on :- ; Isaiah 1:8 ). Zion and her inhabitants. shaken . . . head —in scorn ( Psalms 22:7 ; Psalms 109:25 ; Matthew 27:39 ). With us to shake the head is a sign of denial or displeasure; but gestures have different meanings in different countries ( Isaiah 58:9 ; Ezekiel 25:6 ; Zephaniah 2:15 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-23" class="com-number"
