Isaiah 34:17 in Context — Isaiah 34

15 Là le serpent fera son nid, déposera ses œufs, Les couvera, et recueillera ses petits à son ombre; Là se rassembleront tous les vautours.

16 Consultez le livre de l’Éternel, et lisez! Aucun d’eux ne fera défaut, Ni l’un ni l’autre ne manqueront; Car sa bouche l’a ordonné. C’est son esprit qui les rassemblera.

17 Il a jeté pour eux le sort, Et sa main leur a partagé cette terre au cordeau, Ils la posséderont toujours, Ils l’habiteront d’âge en âge.
