isaiah 64:10 Thy holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

< Isaiah 64:9
Isaiah 64:11 >

      10. holy cities--No city but Jerusalem is called "the holy city" (Isa 48:2; 52:1); the plural, therefore, refers to the upper and the lower parts of the same city Jerusalem [VITRINGA]; or all Judea was holy to God, so its cities were deemed "holy" [MAURER]. But the parallelism favors VITRINGA. Zion and Jerusalem (the one city) answering to "holy cities."
