Exegesis
The final clause lōʾ-yānūaḥ lāḵ {לֹא־יָנ֥וּחַֽ לָֽךְ | lōʾ-yānūaḥ lāḵ} ‘there shall be no rest for you’ closes the prophetic pronouncement with an absolute prohibition.
In context — Isaiah 23:12
And He said, “You shall no longer rejoice, O oppressed virgin, daughter of Sidon; arise, cross over to Kittim —even there there shall be no rest for you.”
