Isaiah 44:18 in Context — Isaiah 44
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!
17 Et avec le reste il fait un dieu, son idole, Il se prosterne devant elle, il l’adore, il l’invoque, Et s’écrie: Sauve-moi! Car tu es mon dieu!
18 Ils n’ont ni intelligence, ni entendement, Car on leur a fermé les yeux pour qu’ils ne voient point, Et le cœur pour qu’ils ne comprennent point.
19 Il ne rentre pas en lui-même, Et il n’a ni l’intelligence, ni le bon sens de dire: J’en ai brûlé une moitié au feu, J’ai cuit du pain sur les charbons, J’ai rôti de la viande et je l’ai mangée; Et avec le reste je ferais une abomination! Je me prosternerais devant un morceau de bois!
20 Il se repaît de cendres, Son cœur abusé l’égare, Et il ne sauvera point son âme, et ne dira point: N’est-ce pas du mensonge que j’ai dans ma main?
