Isaiah 41:17 in Context — Isaiah 41

15 Voici, je fais de toi un traîneau aigu, tout neuf, Garni de pointes; Tu écraseras, tu broieras les montagnes, Et tu rendras les collines semblables à de la balle.

16 Tu les vanneras, et le vent les emportera, Et un tourbillon les dispersera. Mais toi, tu te réjouiras en l’Éternel, Tu mettras ta gloire dans le Saint d’Israël.

17 Les malheureux et les indigents cherchent de l’eau, et il n’y en a point; Leur langue est desséchée par la soif. Moi, l’Éternel, je les exaucerai; Moi, le Dieu d’Israël, je ne les abandonnerai pas.

18 Je ferai jaillir des fleuves sur les collines, Et des sources au milieu des vallées; Je changerai le désert en étang, Et la terre aride en courants d’eau;

19 Je mettrai dans le désert le cèdre, l’acacia, Le myrte et l’olivier; Je mettrai dans les lieux stériles Le cyprès, l’orme et le buis, tous ensemble;
