Isaiah 16:2 in Context — Isaiah 16

1 Envoyez les agneaux au souverain du pays, Envoyez-les de Séla, par le désert, A la montagne de la fille de Sion.

2 Tel un oiseau fugitif, telle une nichée effarouchée, Telles seront les filles de Moab, au passage de l’Arnon.

3 Donne conseil, fais justice, Couvre-nous en plein midi de ton ombre comme de la nuit, Cache ceux que l’on poursuit, Ne trahis pas le fugitif!

4 Laisse séjourner chez toi les exilés de Moab, Sois pour eux un refuge contre le dévastateur! Car l’oppression cessera, la dévastation finira, Celui qui foule le pays disparaîtra.
