Isaiah 30:7 in Context — Isaiah 30
5 Tous seront confus au sujet d’un peuple qui ne leur sera point utile, Ni pour les secourir, ni pour les aider, Mais qui fera leur honte et leur opprobre.
6 Sentence des bêtes du midi: A travers une contrée de détresse et d’angoisse, D’où viennent la lionne et le lion, La vipère et le dragon volant, Ils portent à dos d’ânes leurs richesses, Et sur la bosse des chameaux leurs trésors, A un peuple qui ne leur sera point utile.
7 Car le secours de l’Égypte n’est que vanité et néant; C’est pourquoi j’appelle cela du bruit qui n’aboutit à rien.
8 Va maintenant, écris ces choses devant eux sur une table, Et grave-les dans un livre, Afin qu’elles subsistent dans les temps à venir, Éternellement et à perpétuité.
9 Car c’est un peuple rebelle, Ce sont des enfants menteurs, Des enfants qui ne veulent point écouter la loi de l’Éternel,
