Isaiah 60:18

wasting nor destruction ch. Isaiah 59:7; Isaiah 51:19.

thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, &c. This rendering is decidedly preferable to that of most recent commentators: "thou shalt call Salvation thy walls, &c." Moreover the rulein such cases (although Isaiah 60:17 furnishes an exception) is that "the nearer obj. is usually def. and the more remote indef." (Davidson, Syntax, § 76). See also on ch. Isaiah 26:1.
