Habakkuk 2:4 in Context — Habakkuk 2
2 L’Éternel m’adressa la parole, et il dit: Écris la prophétie: Grave-la sur des tables, Afin qu’on la lise couramment.
3 Car c’est une prophétie dont le temps est déjà fixé, Elle marche vers son terme, et elle ne mentira pas; Si elle tarde, attends-la, Car elle s’accomplira, elle s’accomplira certainement.
4 Voici, son âme s’est enflée, elle n’est pas droite en lui; Mais le juste vivra par sa foi.
5 Pareil à celui qui est ivre et arrogant, L’orgueilleux ne demeure pas tranquille; Il élargit sa bouche comme le séjour des morts, Il est insatiable comme la mort; Il attire à lui toutes les nations, Il assemble auprès de lui tous les peuples.
6 Ne sera-t-il pas pour tous un sujet de sarcasme, De railleries et d’énigmes? On dira: Malheur à celui qui accumule ce qui n’est pas à lui! Jusques à quand?… Malheur à celui qui augmente le fardeau de ses dettes!
