“Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.”
The reference to rigging hanging loose and mast not established, with sails unable to be spread, indicates that the enemy's military equipment and vessels will be rendered ineffective and useless. This verse continues the theme of the enemy's military incapacity, extending from land-based forces to naval forces. The specific detail about rigging and sails suggests that the damage or disabling of enemy vessels will be total and complete. The verse assures that the judgment will extend to all aspects of enemy military power, leaving them unable to project force or escape.
