Isaiah 1:21 in Context — Isaiah 1

19 Si vous avez de la bonne volonté et si vous êtes dociles, Vous mangerez les meilleures productions du pays;

20 Mais si vous résistez et si vous êtes rebelles, Vous serez dévorés par le glaive, Car la bouche de l’Éternel a parlé.

21 Quoi donc! La cité fidèle est devenue une prostituée! Elle était remplie d’équité, la justice y habitait, Et maintenant il y a des assassins!

22 Ton argent s’est changé en scories, Ton vin a été coupé d’eau.

23 Tes chefs sont rebelles et complices des voleurs, Tous aiment les présents et courent après les récompenses; Ils ne font pas droit à l’orphelin, Et la cause de la veuve ne vient pas jusqu’à eux.
