Isaiah 23:10 Context
8Who hath taken this counsell against Tyre the crowning citie, whose merchants are princes, whose traffiquers are the honourable of the earth? 9The Lord of hostes hath purposed it, to staine the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth. 10Passe through thy land as a riuer O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. 11He stretched out his hand ouer the sea, hee shooke the kingdomes: the Lord hath giuen a commandement against the merchant citie, to destroy the strong holdes thereof. 12And he said, Thou shalt no more reioice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, passe ouer to Chittim, there also shalt thou haue no rest.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 23:10
23:10 Pass through - Tarry no longer in thy own territories, but flee through them, into other countries, for safety and relief. As a river - Swiftly, lest you be prevented. Tarshish - O Tyre, which might well be called daughter of Tarshish, that is, of the sea, as that word is used, ver.#1|, and elsewhere, because it was an island, and therefore as it were, born of the sea, and nourished and brought up by it.
