The verse 9 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.

Jehová de los ejércitos lo ha determinado, para profanar el orgullo de toda hermosura y humillar a todos los nobles de la tierra.
