Isaiah 2:4 in Context — Isaiah 2
2 Il arrivera, dans la suite des temps, Que la montagne de la maison de l’Éternel Sera fondée sur le sommet des montagnes, Qu’elle s’élèvera par-dessus les collines, Et que toutes les nations y afflueront.
3 Des peuples s’y rendront en foule, et diront: Venez, et montons à la montagne de l’Éternel, A la maison du Dieu de Jacob, Afin qu’il nous enseigne ses voies, Et que nous marchions dans ses sentiers. Car de Sion sortira la loi, Et de Jérusalem la parole de l’Éternel.
4 Il sera le juge des nations, L’arbitre d’un grand nombre de peuples. De leurs glaives ils forgeront des hoyaux, Et de leurs lances des serpes: Une nation ne tirera plus l’épée contre une autre, Et l’on n’apprendra plus la guerre.
5 Maison de Jacob, Venez, et marchons à la lumière de l’Éternel!
6 Car tu as abandonné ton peuple, la maison de Jacob, Parce qu’ils sont pleins de l’Orient, Et adonnés à la magie comme les Philistins, Et parce qu’ils s’allient aux fils des étrangers.
