Isaiah 28:4 in Context — Isaiah 28
2 Voici venir, de la part du Seigneur, un homme fort et puissant, Comme un orage de grêle, un ouragan destructeur, Comme une tempête qui précipite des torrents d’eaux: Il la fait tomber en terre avec violence.
3 Elle sera foulée aux pieds, La couronne superbe des ivrognes d’Éphraïm;
4 Et la fleur fanée, qui fait l’éclat de sa parure, Sur la cime de la fertile vallée, Sera comme une figue hâtive qu’on aperçoit avant la récolte, Et qui, à peine dans la main, est aussitôt avalée.
5 En ce jour, l’Éternel des armées sera Une couronne éclatante et une parure magnifique Pour le reste de son peuple,
6 Un esprit de justice pour celui qui est assis au siège de la justice, Et une force pour ceux qui repoussent l’ennemi jusqu’à ses portes.
