Isaiah 23:8 in Context — Isaiah 23

6 Passai-vos a Társis; uivai, moradores do litoral!

7 É esta a vossa alegre cidade? A que existia desde os tempos antigos? Eram os pés dela que a levavam para alcançar lugares distantes?

8 Quem foi, pois, que determinou isto contra Tiro, a que dava coroas, que cujos mercadores eram príncipes, e cujos comerciantes eram os mais ilustres da terra?

9 Foi o SENHOR dos exércitos que determinou isto, para envergonhar o orgulho de sua beleza, e humilhar a todos os ilustres da terra.

10 Passa-te como o rio à tua terra, ó filha de Társis, [pois] já não há mais fortaleza.
