Isaiah 17:13 in Context — Isaiah 17

11 Lorsque tu les plantas, tu les entouras d’une haie, Et bientôt tu les fis venir en fleurs. Mais la récolte a fui, au moment de la jouissance: Et la douleur est sans remède.

12 Oh! Quelle rumeur de peuples nombreux! Ils mugissent comme mugit la mer. Quel tumulte de nations! Elles grondent comme grondent les eaux puissantes.

13 Les nations grondent comme grondent les grandes eaux… Il les menace, et elles fuient au loin, Chassées comme la balle des montagnes au souffle du vent, Comme la poussière par un tourbillon.

14 Quand vient le soir, voici, c’est une ruine soudaine; Avant le matin, ils ne sont plus! Voilà le partage de ceux qui nous dépouillent, Le sort de ceux qui nous pillent.
