Habakkuk 1:5 in Context — Habakkuk 1
3 Pourquoi me fais-tu voir l’iniquité, Et contemples-tu l’injustice? Pourquoi l’oppression et la violence sont-elles devant moi? Il y a des querelles, et la discorde s’élève.
4 Aussi la loi n’a point de vie, La justice n’a point de force; Car le méchant triomphe du juste, Et l’on rend des jugements iniques.
5 Jetez les yeux parmi les nations, regardez, Et soyez saisis d’étonnement, d’épouvante! Car je vais faire en vos jours une œuvre, Que vous ne croiriez pas si on la racontait.
6 Voici, je vais susciter les Chaldéens, Peuple furibond et impétueux, Qui traverse de vastes étendues de pays, Pour s’emparer de demeures qui ne sont pas à lui.
7 Il est terrible et formidable; De lui seul viennent son droit et sa grandeur.
