Isaiah 14:4 in Context — Isaiah 14

2 Les peuples les prendront, et les ramèneront à leur demeure, Et la maison d’Israël les possédera dans le pays de l’Éternel, Comme serviteurs et comme servantes; Ils retiendront captifs ceux qui les avaient faits captifs, Et ils domineront sur leurs oppresseurs.

3 Et quand l’Éternel t’aura donné du repos, Après tes fatigues et tes agitations, Et après la dure servitude qui te fut imposée,

4 Alors tu prononceras ce chant sur le roi de Babylone, Et tu diras: Eh quoi! Le tyran n’est plus! L’oppression a cessé!

5 L’Éternel a brisé le bâton des méchants, La verge des dominateurs.

6 Celui qui dans sa fureur frappait les peuples, Par des coups sans relâche, Celui qui dans sa colère subjuguait les nations, Est poursuivi sans ménagement.
