Isaiah 42:23 in Context — Isaiah 42

21 L’Éternel a voulu, pour le bonheur d’Israël, Publier une loi grande et magnifique.

22 Et c’est un peuple pillé et dépouillé! On les a tous enchaînés dans des cavernes, Plongés dans des cachots; Ils ont été mis au pillage, et personne qui les délivre! Dépouillés, et personne qui dise: Restitue!

23 Qui parmi vous prêtera l’oreille à ces choses? Qui voudra s’y rendre attentif et écouter à l’avenir?

24 Qui a livré Jacob au pillage, Et Israël aux pillards? N’est-ce pas l’Éternel? Nous avons péché contre lui. Ils n’ont point voulu marcher dans ses voies, Et ils n’ont point écouté sa loi.

25 Aussi a-t-il versé sur Israël l’ardeur de sa colère Et la violence de la guerre; La guerre l’a embrasé de toutes parts, et il n’a point compris; Elle l’a consumé, et il n’y a point pris garde.
