Isaiah 49:6 in Context — Isaiah 49

4 Et moi j’ai dit: C’est en vain que j’ai travaillé, C’est pour le vide et le néant que j’ai consumé ma force; Mais mon droit est auprès de l’Éternel, Et ma récompense auprès de mon Dieu.

5 Maintenant, l’Éternel parle, Lui qui m’a formé dès ma naissance Pour être son serviteur, Pour ramener à lui Jacob, Et Israël encore dispersé; Car je suis honoré aux yeux de l’Éternel, Et mon Dieu est ma force.

6 Il dit: C’est peu que tu sois mon serviteur Pour relever les tribus de Jacob Et pour ramener les restes d’Israël: Je t’établis pour être la lumière des nations, Pour porter mon salut jusqu’aux extrémités de la terre.

7 Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le rédempteur, le Saint d’Israël, A celui qu’on méprise, qui est en horreur au peuple, A l’esclave des puissants: Des rois le verront, et ils se lèveront, Des princes, et ils se prosterneront, A cause de l’Éternel, qui est fidèle, Du Saint d’Israël, qui t’a choisi.

8 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Au temps de la grâce je t’exaucerai, Et au jour du salut je te secourrai; Je te garderai, et je t’établirai pour traiter alliance avec le peuple, Pour relever le pays, Et pour distribuer les héritages désolés;
