Isaiah 49:16 in Context — Isaiah 49

14 Sion disait: L’Éternel m’abandonne, Le Seigneur m’oublie!

15 Une femme oublie-t-elle l’enfant qu’elle allaite? N’a-t-elle pas pitié du fruit de ses entrailles? Quand elle l’oublierait, Moi je ne t’oublierai point.

16 Voici, je t’ai gravée sur mes mains; Tes murs sont toujours devant mes yeux.

17 Tes fils accourent; Ceux qui t’avaient détruite et ravagée Sortiront du milieu de toi.

18 Porte tes yeux alentour, et regarde: Tous ils s’assemblent, ils viennent vers toi. Je suis vivant! Dit l’Éternel, Tu les revêtiras tous comme une parure, Tu t’en ceindras comme une fiancée.
