Isaiah 40:7 in Context — Isaiah 40

5 Alors la gloire de l’Éternel sera révélée, Et au même instant toute chair la verra; Car la bouche de l’Éternel a parlé.

6 Une voix dit: Crie! Et il répond: Que crierai-je? Toute chair est comme l’herbe, Et tout son éclat comme la fleur des champs.

7 L’herbe sèche, la fleur tombe, Quand le vent de l’Éternel souffle dessus. Certainement le peuple est comme l’herbe:

8 L’herbe sèche, la fleur tombe; Mais la parole de notre Dieu subsiste éternellement.

9 Monte sur une haute montagne, Sion, pour publier la bonne nouvelle; Élève avec force ta voix, Jérusalem, pour publier la bonne nouvelle; Élève ta voix, ne crains point, Dis aux villes de Juda: Voici votre Dieu!
