Isaiah 1:23 in Context — Isaiah 1
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.
24 C’est pourquoi voici ce que dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel des armées, Le Fort d’Israël: Ah! Je tirerai satisfaction de mes adversaires, Et je me vengerai de mes ennemis.
25 Je porterai ma main sur toi, Je fondrai tes scories, comme avec de la potasse, Et j’enlèverai toutes tes parcelles de plomb.
