Isaiah 10:15 in Context — Isaiah 10
13 Car il dit: C’est par la force de ma main que j’ai agi, C’est par ma sagesse, car je suis intelligent; J’ai reculé les limites des peuples, et pillé leurs trésors, Et, comme un héros, j’ai renversé ceux qui siégeaient sur des trônes;
14 J’ai mis la main sur les richesses des peuples, comme sur un nid, Et, comme on ramasse des œufs abandonnés, J’ai ramassé toute la terre: Nul n’a remué l’aile, Ni ouvert le bec, ni poussé un cri.
15 La hache se glorifie-t-elle envers celui qui s’en sert? Ou la scie est-elle arrogante envers celui qui la manie? Comme si la verge faisait mouvoir celui qui la lève, Comme si le bâton soulevait celui qui n’est pas du bois!
16 C’est pourquoi le Seigneur, le Seigneur des armées, enverra Le dépérissement parmi ses robustes guerriers; Et, sous sa magnificence, éclatera un embrasement, Comme l’embrasement d’un feu.
17 La lumière d’Israël deviendra un feu, Et son Saint une flamme, Qui consumera et dévorera ses épines et ses ronces, En un seul jour;
