Isaiah 24:20 in Context — Isaiah 24
18 Celui qui fuit devant les cris de terreur tombe dans la fosse, Et celui qui remonte de la fosse se prend au filet; Car les écluses d’en haut s’ouvrent, Et les fondements de la terre sont ébranlés.
19 La terre est déchirée, La terre se brise, La terre chancelle.
20 La terre chancelle comme un homme ivre, Elle vacille comme une cabane; Son péché pèse sur elle, Elle tombe, et ne se relève plus.
21 En ce temps-là, l’Éternel châtiera dans le ciel l’armée d’en haut, Et sur la terre les rois de la terre.
22 Ils seront assemblés captifs dans une prison, Ils seront enfermés dans des cachots, Et, après un grand nombre de jours, ils seront châtiés.
