Isaiah 10:30 Summary
Isaiah 10:30 is a cry of warning and distress to the people of Judah, urging them to listen and take heed of the impending Assyrian invasion. The verse uses the personification of towns to emphasize the emotional impact of the invasion on God's people, similar to Isaiah 37:22.

Lift up that voice, O daughter of Gallim,.... In a mournful and lamentable manner, and yet with such a clear loud voice, as to be heard afar off: the word is sometimes used for making a joyful sound,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 10:30
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: Onward gradual march of Sennacherib's army toward Jerusalem, and the panic of the inhabitants, vividly pictured before the eyes.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 10:30
O daughter of Gallim: Jerusalem was the mother city, and lesser towns are commonly called her daughters, as hath been oft noted.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 10:30
Isaiah 10:30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.Ver. 30. Lift up thy voice.] Heb., Hinni, i.e., claram vocem ede, eamque lugubrem, make a grievous outcry, eiula, quiritare; nam certa tibi imminet vastitas, for thou art undone. O poor Anathoth.] Jeremiah’ s country; "poor," because plundered.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 10:30
Verse 30. Cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anothoth - "Hearken unto her, O Laish; answer her, O Anathoth!"] I follow in this the Syriac Version. The prophet plainly alludes to the name of the place, and with a peculiar propriety, if it had its name frown its remarkable echo. " ענתות anathoth, responsiones: eadem ratio nominis, quae in בית ענת beith anath, locus echus; nam hodienum ejus rudera ostenduntur in valle, scil. in medio montium, ut referent Robertus in Itiner. p. 70, et Monconnysius, p. 301." Simonis Onomasticon Vet. Test. - L. Anathoth - Answers, replies; for the same reason that Bethany, בית ענת beith anath, had its name, the house of echo; the remains of which are still shown in the valley, i.e., among the mountains.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 10:30
30. Shriek loudly, O daughter of Gallim; listen, O Laishah. Neither of these places can be identified. O poor Anathoth] Translate, with a slight change of pointing, answer her, O Anathoth. Anathoth (‘Anâta) is about three miles N.N.E. from Jerusalem.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 10:30
