Isaiah 16:5 in Context — Isaiah 16
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.
5 Et le trône s’affermira par la clémence; Et l’on y verra siéger fidèlement, dans la maison de David, Un juge ami du droit et zélé pour la justice.
6 Nous entendons l’orgueil du superbe Moab, Sa fierté et sa hauteur, son arrogance et ses vains discours.
7 C’est pourquoi Moab gémit sur Moab, tout gémit; Vous soupirez sur les ruines de Kir-Haréseth, Profondément abattus.
