So now you have become just that: you see something dreadful, and you take fright.
Note. The Hebrew is written “you have come to nothing” and read “you have become just that”, which closes the simile of the dry torrent in the verses before. ZARZA follows the reading, as it does throughout.
In context
19The caravans of Tema look for them; the travelers of Sheba wait in hope. 20They are ashamed of having trusted; they arrive there and are humiliated. 21So now you have become just that: you see something dreadful, and you take fright. 22Did I ever say, “Give me something,” or, “Pay a bribe for me out of your wealth,” 23or, “Rescue me from the hand of an enemy,” or, “Ransom me from the hand of tyrants”?
