Isaiah 17:2 in Context — Isaiah 17

1 Oracle sur Damas. Voici, Damas ne sera plus une ville, Elle ne sera qu’un monceau de ruines.

2 Les villes d’Aroër sont abandonnées, Elles sont livrées aux troupeaux; Ils s’y couchent, et personne ne les effraie.

3 C’en est fait de la forteresse d’Éphraïm, Et du royaume de Damas, et du reste de la Syrie: Il en sera comme de la gloire des enfants d’Israël, Dit l’Éternel des armées.

4 En ce jour, la gloire de Jacob sera affaiblie, Et la graisse de sa chair s’évanouira.
