Isaiah 31:2 in Context — Isaiah 31

1 Malheur à ceux qui descendent en Égypte pour avoir du secours, Qui s’appuient sur des chevaux, Et se fient à la multitude des chars et à la force des cavaliers, Mais qui ne regardent pas vers le Saint d’Israël, Et ne recherchent pas l’Éternel!

2 Lui aussi, cependant, il est sage, il fait venir le malheur, Et ne retire point ses paroles; Il s’élève contre la maison des méchants, Et contre le secours de ceux qui commettent l’iniquité.

3 L’Égyptien est homme et non dieu; Ses chevaux sont chair et non esprit. Quand l’Éternel étendra sa main, Le protecteur chancellera, le protégé tombera, Et tous ensemble ils périront.

4 Car ainsi m’a parlé l’Éternel: Comme le lion, comme le lionceau rugit sur sa proie, Et, malgré tous les bergers rassemblés contre lui, Ne se laisse ni effrayer par leur voix, Ni intimider par leur nombre; De même l’Éternel des armées descendra Pour combattre sur la montagne de Sion et sur sa colline.
