Isaiah 25:2 in Context — Isaiah 25

1 O Éternel! Tu es mon Dieu; Je t’exalterai, je célébrerai ton nom, Car tu as fait des choses merveilleuses; Tes desseins conçus à l’avance se sont fidèlement accomplis.

2 Car tu as réduit la ville en un monceau de pierres, La cité forte en un tas de ruines; La forteresse des barbares est détruite, Jamais elle ne sera rebâtie.

3 C’est pourquoi les peuples puissants te glorifient, Les villes des nations puissantes te craignent.

4 Tu as été un refuge pour le faible, Un refuge pour le malheureux dans la détresse, Un abri contre la tempête, Un ombrage contre la chaleur; Car le souffle des tyrans Est comme l’ouragan qui frappe une muraille.
