Isaiah 44:14 in Context — Isaiah 44
12 Le forgeron fait une hache, Il travaille avec le charbon, Et il la façonne à coups de marteau; Il la forge d’un bras vigoureux; Mais a-t-il faim, le voilà sans force; Ne boit-il pas d’eau, le voilà épuisé.
13 Le charpentier étend le cordeau, Fait un tracé au crayon, Façonne le bois avec un couteau, Et marque ses dimensions avec le compas; Et il produit une figure d’homme, Une belle forme humaine, Pour qu’elle habite dans une maison.
14 Il se coupe des cèdres, Il prend des rouvres et des chênes, Et fait un choix parmi les arbres de la forêt; Il plante des pins, Et la pluie les fait croître.
15 Ces arbres servent à l’homme pour brûler, Il en prend et il se chauffe. Il y met aussi le feu pour cuire du pain; Et il en fait également un dieu, qu’il adore, Il en fait une idole, devant laquelle il se prosterne.
16 Il brûle au feu la moitié de son bois, Avec cette moitié il cuit de la viande, Il apprête un rôti, et se rassasie; Il se chauffe aussi, et dit: Ha! Ha! Je me chauffe, je vois la flamme!
