Exegesis
Finally, the niphal perfect niglah {נִגְלָה | nig-lāh} ‘has been revealed’ with suffix lamo {לָמוֹ | lā-mō} ‘to them’ conveys the communication of the judgment. The structure balances imperative lamentation and descriptive statements to maintain an oracular rhetorical tone.
In context — Isaiah 23:1
The oracle concerning Tyre : Wail, ships of Tarshish, for it has been devastated—no house, no entrance. From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them.
