Isaiah 23:2 in Context — Isaiah 23

1 Oracle sur Tyr. Lamentez-vous, navires de Tarsis! Car elle est détruite: plus de maisons! Plus d’entrée! C’est du pays de Kittim que la nouvelle leur en est venue.

2 Soyez muets d’effroi, habitants de la côte, Que remplissaient les marchands de Sidon, parcourant la mer!

3 A travers les vastes eaux, le blé du Nil, La moisson du fleuve, était pour elle un revenu; Elle était le marché des nations.

4 Sois confuse, Sidon! Car ainsi parle la mer, la forteresse de la mer: Je n’ai point eu de douleurs, je n’ai point enfanté, Je n’ai point nourri de jeunes gens, ni élevé de jeunes filles.
