Isaiah 28:6 in Context — Isaiah 28

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.

7 Mais eux aussi, ils chancellent dans le vin, Et les boissons fortes leur donnent des vertiges; Sacrificateurs et prophètes chancellent dans les boissons fortes, Ils sont absorbés par le vin, Ils ont des vertiges à cause des boissons fortes; Ils chancellent en prophétisant, Ils vacillent en rendant la justice.

8 Toutes les tables sont pleines de vomissements, d’ordures; Il n’y a plus de place.
