Isaiah 28:20 in Context — Isaiah 28
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.
19 Chaque fois qu’il passera, il vous saisira; Car il passera tous les matins, le jour et la nuit, Et son bruit seul donnera l’épouvante.
20 Le lit sera trop court pour s’y étendre, Et la couverture trop étroite pour s’en envelopper.
21 Car l’Éternel se lèvera comme à la montagne de Peratsim, Il s’irritera comme dans la vallée de Gabaon, Pour faire son œuvre, son œuvre étrange, Pour exécuter son travail, son travail inouï.
22 Maintenant, ne vous livrez point à la moquerie, De peur que vos liens ne soient resserrés; Car la destruction de tout le pays est résolue; Je l’ai appris du Seigneur, de l’Éternel des armées.
