Isaiah 44:9 in Context — Isaiah 44

7 Qui a, comme moi, fait des prédictions (Qu’il le déclare et me le prouve!) Depuis que j’ai fondé le peuple ancien? Qu’ils annoncent l’avenir et ce qui doit arriver!

8 N’ayez pas peur, et ne tremblez pas; Ne te l’ai-je pas dès longtemps annoncé et déclaré? Vous êtes mes témoins: Y a-t-il un autre Dieu que moi? Il n’y a pas d’autre rocher, je n’en connais point.

9 Ceux qui fabriquent des idoles ne sont tous que vanité, Et leurs plus belles œuvres ne servent à rien; Elles le témoignent elles-mêmes: Elles n’ont ni la vue, ni l’intelligence, Afin qu’ils soient dans la confusion.

10 Qui est-ce qui fabrique un dieu, ou fond une idole, Pour n’en retirer aucune utilité?

11 Voici, tous ceux qui y travaillent seront confondus, Et les ouvriers ne sont que des hommes; Qu’ils se réunissent tous, qu’ils se présentent, Et tous ensemble ils seront tremblants et couverts de honte.
