Isaiah 44:20 in Context — Isaiah 44

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?

21 Souviens-toi de ces choses, ô Jacob! O Israël! Car tu es mon serviteur; Je t’ai formé, tu es mon serviteur; Israël, je ne t’oublierai pas.

22 J’efface tes transgressions comme un nuage, Et tes péchés comme une nuée; Reviens à moi, Car je t’ai racheté.
