2 Kings 19:23 in Context — 2 Kings 19
21 Voici la parole que l’Éternel a prononcée contre lui: Elle te méprise, elle se moque de toi, La vierge, fille de Sion; Elle hoche la tête après toi, La fille de Jérusalem.
22 Qui as-tu insulté et outragé? Contre qui as-tu élevé la voix? Tu as porté tes yeux en haut Sur le Saint d’Israël!
23 Par tes messagers tu as insulté le Seigneur, Et tu as dit: Avec la multitude de mes chars, J’ai gravi le sommet des montagnes, Les extrémités du Liban; Je couperai les plus élevés de ses cèdres, Les plus beaux de ses cyprès, Et j’atteindrai sa dernière cime, Sa forêt semblable à un verger;
24 J’ai creusé, et j’ai bu des eaux étrangères, Et je tarirai avec la plante de mes pieds Tous les fleuves de l’Égypte.
25 N’as-tu pas appris que j’ai préparé ces choses de loin, Et que je les ai résolues dès les temps anciens? Maintenant j’ai permis qu’elles s’accomplissent, Et que tu réduisisses des villes fortes en monceaux de ruines.
