Isaiah 23:4 in Context — Isaiah 23
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.
5 Quand les Égyptiens sauront la nouvelle, Ils trembleront en apprenant la chute de Tyr.
6 Passez à Tarsis, Lamentez-vous, habitants de la côte!
