Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 23 of Isaiah. The oracle against Tyre describes the collapse of a commercial power whose pride was tied to maritime wealth. After a period of devastation, the city resumes trading, but its profits are dedicated to Yahweh’s service. The chapter transforms commercial wealth into a resource that can ultimately become subordinate to divine purpose.

Ist das eure fröhliche Stadt, die sich ihres Alters rühmte? Ihre Füße werden sie wegführen, zu wallen.
¿No era ésta vuestra ciudad alegre, su antigüedad de muchos días? Sus pies la llevarán a peregrinar lejos.
¿Es esta su ciudad alegre, cuyos orígenes se remontan a la antigüedad, cuyos pies la llevaban a habitar lejos?
Est-ce là votre ville joyeuse? Elle avait une origine antique, Et ses pieds la mènent séjourner au loin.
E questa la vostra città trionfante, la cui antichità è fin dal tempo antico? i suoi piedi la porteranno a dimorar come straniera in lontano paese.
É esta, porventura, a vossa cidade exultante, cuja origem é dos dias antigos, cujos pés a levaram para longe a peregrinar?
這就是你們那古老歡樂的城市嗎? 它的腳曾帶人到遠方居住。
