Sidon is addressed here as a representative of the Phoenicians. The city is told to stop rejoicing because there would be no reason for joy. She is like a woman who was mistreated. Even if she were to flee over the sea to Cyprus, she would not find rest.
12 Il a dit: Tu ne te livreras plus à la joie, Vierge déshonorée, fille de Sidon! Lève-toi, passe au pays de Kittim! Même là, il n'y aura pas de repos pour toi.
