Isaiah 30:17 in Context — Isaiah 30

15 Car ainsi a parlé le Seigneur, l’Éternel, le Saint d’Israël: C’est dans la tranquillité et le repos que sera votre salut, C’est dans le calme et la confiance que sera votre force. Mais vous ne l’avez pas voulu!

16 Vous avez dit: Non! Nous prendrons la course à cheval! C’est pourquoi vous fuirez à la course. Nous monterons des coursiers légers! C’est pourquoi ceux qui vous poursuivront seront légers.

17 Mille fuiront à la menace d’un seul, Et, à la menace de cinq, vous fuirez, Jusqu’à ce que vous restiez Comme un signal au sommet de la montagne, Comme un étendard sur la colline.

18 Cependant l’Éternel désire vous faire grâce, Et il se lèvera pour vous faire miséricorde; Car l’Éternel est un Dieu juste: Heureux tous ceux qui espèrent en lui!

19 Oui, peuple de Sion, habitant de Jérusalem, Tu ne pleureras plus! Il te fera grâce, quand tu crieras; Dès qu’il aura entendu, il t’exaucera.
