Isaiah 23:8 in Context — Isaiah 23
6 Passez à Tarsis, Lamentez-vous, habitants de la côte!
7 Est-ce là votre ville joyeuse? Elle avait une origine antique, Et ses pieds la mènent séjourner au loin.
8 Qui a pris cette résolution contre Tyr, la dispensatrice des couronnes, Elle dont les marchands étaient des princes, Dont les commerçants étaient les plus riches de la terre?
9 C’est l’Éternel des armées qui a pris cette résolution, Pour blesser l’orgueil de tout ce qui brille, Pour humilier tous les grands de la terre.
10 Parcours librement ton pays, pareille au Nil, Fille de Tarsis! Plus de joug!
