Isaiah 41:7 in Context — Isaiah 41

5 Les îles le voient, et sont dans la crainte, Les extrémités de la terre tremblent: Ils s’approchent, ils viennent.

6 Ils s’aident l’un l’autre, Et chacun dit à son frère: Courage!

7 Le sculpteur encourage le fondeur; Celui qui polit au marteau encourage celui qui frappe sur l’enclume; Il dit de la soudure: Elle est bonne! Et il fixe l’idole avec des clous, pour qu’elle ne branle pas.

8 Mais toi, Israël, mon serviteur, Jacob, que j’ai choisi, Race d’Abraham que j’ai aimé!

9 Toi, que j’ai pris aux extrémités de la terre, Et que j’ai appelé d’une contrée lointaine, A qui j’ai dit: Tu es mon serviteur, Je te choisis, et ne te rejette point!
