Isaiah 33:23 in Context — Isaiah 33

21 C’est là vraiment que l’Éternel est magnifique pour nous: Il nous tient lieu de fleuves, de vastes rivières, Où ne pénètrent point de navires à rames, Et que ne traverse aucun grand vaisseau.

22 Car l’Éternel est notre juge, L’Éternel est notre législateur, L’Éternel est notre roi: C’est lui qui nous sauve.

23 Tes cordages sont relâchés; Ils ne serrent plus le pied du mât et ne tendent plus les voiles. Alors on partage la dépouille d’un immense butin; Les boiteux même prennent part au pillage:

24 Aucun habitant ne dit: Je suis malade! Le peuple de Jérusalem reçoit le pardon de ses iniquités.
