Isaiah 28:16 in Context — Isaiah 28

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.

16 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, j’ai mis pour fondement en Sion une pierre, Une pierre éprouvée, une pierre angulaire de prix, solidement posée; Celui qui la prendra pour appui n’aura point hâte de fuir.

17 Je ferai de la droiture une règle, Et de la justice un niveau; Et la grêle emportera le refuge de la fausseté, Et les eaux inonderont l’abri du mensonge.

18 Votre alliance avec la mort sera détruite, Votre pacte avec le séjour des morts ne subsistera pas; Quand le fléau débordé passera, Vous serez par lui foulés aux pieds.
