Notes

Isaiah 1:8

the Daughter of Zion: Zion, one of the hills on which Jerusalem stands, often served as another name for Jerusalem.

Zion symbolized God's presence (Psalm 46), his protection of his people, and Jerusalem's strength against enemies. Now, however, the opposite is true. Jerusalem has become weak, like a helpless city under siege and like an abandoned shelter or a shack.
