Isaiah 3:5 in Context — Isaiah 3
3 Le chef de cinquante et le magistrat, Le conseiller, l’artisan distingué et l’habile enchanteur.
4 Je leur donnerai des jeunes gens pour chefs, Et des enfants domineront sur eux.
5 Il y aura réciprocité d’oppression parmi le peuple; L’un opprimera l’autre, chacun son prochain; Le jeune homme attaquera le vieillard, Et l’homme de rien celui qui est honoré.
6 On ira jusqu’à saisir son frère dans la maison paternelle: Tu as un habit, sois notre chef! Prends ces ruines sous ta main!
7 Ce jour-là même il répondra: Je ne saurais être un médecin, Et dans ma maison il n’y a ni pain ni vêtement; Ne m’établissez pas chef du peuple!
