Isaiah 36:6 in Context — Isaiah 36
4 Rabschaké leur dit: Dites à Ézéchias: Ainsi parle le grand roi, le roi d’Assyrie: Quelle est cette confiance, sur laquelle tu t’appuies?
5 Je te le dis, ce ne sont que des paroles en l’air: il faut pour la guerre de la prudence et de la force. En qui donc as-tu placé ta confiance, pour t’être révolté contre moi?
6 Voici, tu l’as placée dans l’Égypte, tu as pris pour soutien ce roseau cassé, qui pénètre et perce la main de quiconque s’appuie dessus: tel est Pharaon, roi d’Égypte, pour tous ceux qui se confient en lui.
7 Peut-être me diras-tu: C’est en l’Éternel, notre Dieu, que nous nous confions. Mais n’est-ce pas lui dont Ézéchias a fait disparaître les hauts lieux et les autels, en disant à Juda et à Jérusalem: Vous vous prosternerez devant cet autel?
8 Maintenant, fais une convention avec mon maître, le roi d’Assyrie, et je te donnerai deux mille chevaux, si tu peux fournir des cavaliers pour les monter.
