Wail, lament; to cry out in distress or mourning (disputed; may mean 'be silent')
This verb form appears in Isaiah's oracle against Tyre, though its meaning is debated. One view derives it from a root meaning 'wail' or 'lament,' parallel to the call to 'howl' in surrounding verses. Another view assigns it to the more common root for 'be silent,' creating the opposite sense. The Assyrian cognate 'groan, wail, lament' supports the mourning interpretation, fitting Isaiah's context of judgment. The Spanish 'Callad' (be silent) and French's non-translation reflect this lexical uncertainty. Context favors lamentation given the parallel commands to howl.

1. sense 1 — Isaiah 23:2 calls out, 'Be silent' or 'Wail, you inhabitants of the coast'—the meaning hinges on which root underlies this imperative. Surrounded by commands to 'howl' (verses 1, 6), the lamentation sense seems more contextually appropriate: Isaiah summons the maritime merchants to mourn Tyre's destruction. Yet the irony of silence—the cessation of commercial bustle—also fits powerfully. This lexical ambiguity may itself be rhetorically effective, merging stunned silence with vocal grief. 1×
