Isaiah 28:13 in Context — Isaiah 28
11 Hé bien! C’est par des hommes aux lèvres balbutiantes Et au langage barbare Que l’Éternel parlera à ce peuple.
12 Il lui disait: Voici le repos, Laissez reposer celui qui est fatigué; Voici le lieu du repos! Mais ils n’ont point voulu écouter.
13 Et pour eux la parole de l’Éternel sera Précepte sur précepte, précepte sur précepte, Règle sur règle, règle sur règle, Un peu ici, un peu là, Afin qu’en marchant ils tombent à la renverse et se brisent, Afin qu’ils soient enlacés et pris.
14 Écoutez donc la parole de l’Éternel, moqueurs, Vous qui dominez sur ce peuple de Jérusalem!
15 Vous dites: Nous avons fait une alliance avec la mort, Nous avons fait un pacte avec le séjour des morts; Quand le fléau débordé passera, il ne nous atteindra pas, Car nous avons la fausseté pour refuge et le mensonge pour abri.
