Isaiah 13:17 in Context — Isaiah 13

15 Tous ceux qu’on trouvera seront percés, Et tous ceux qu’on saisira tomberont par l’épée.

16 Leurs enfants seront écrasés sous leurs yeux, Leurs maisons seront pillées, et leurs femmes violées.

17 Voici, j’excite contre eux les Mèdes, Qui ne font point cas de l’argent, Et qui ne convoitent point l’or.

18 De leurs arcs ils abattront les jeunes gens, Et ils seront sans pitié pour le fruit des entrailles: Leur œil n’épargnera point les enfants.

19 Et Babylone, l’ornement des royaumes, La fière parure des Chaldéens, Sera comme Sodome et Gomorrhe, que Dieu détruisit.
