Isaiah 14:23 in Context — Isaiah 14
21 Préparez le massacre des fils, A cause de l’iniquité de leurs pères! Qu’ils ne se relèvent pas pour conquérir la terre, Et remplir le monde d’ennemis!
22 Je me lèverai contre eux, Dit l’Éternel des armées; J’anéantirai le nom et la trace de Babylone, Ses descendants et sa postérité, dit l’Éternel.
23 J’en ferai le gîte du hérisson et un marécage, Et je la balaierai avec le balai de la destruction, Dit l’Éternel des armées.
24 L’Éternel des armées l’a juré, en disant: Oui, ce que j’ai décidé arrivera, Ce que j’ai résolu s’accomplira.
25 Je briserai l’Assyrien dans mon pays, Je le foulerai aux pieds sur mes montagnes; Et son joug leur sera ôté, Et son fardeau sera ôté de leurs épaules.
