Isaiah 3:12 in Context — Isaiah 3
10 Dites que le juste prospérera, Car il jouira du fruit de ses œuvres.
11 Malheur au méchant! Il sera dans l’infortune, Car il recueillera le produit de ses mains.
12 Mon peuple a pour oppresseurs des enfants, Et des femmes dominent sur lui; Mon peuple, ceux qui te conduisent t’égarent, Et ils corrompent la voie dans laquelle tu marches.
13 L’Éternel se présente pour plaider, Il est debout pour juger les peuples.
14 L’Éternel entre en jugement Avec les anciens de son peuple et avec ses chefs: Vous avez brouté la vigne! La dépouille du pauvre est dans vos maisons!
