Isaiah 5:18 in Context — Isaiah 5

16 L’Éternel des armées sera élevé par le jugement, Et le Dieu saint sera sanctifié par la justice.

17 Des brebis paîtront comme sur leur pâturage, Et des étrangers dévoreront les possessions ruinées des riches.

18 Malheur à ceux qui tirent l’iniquité avec les cordes du vice, Et le péché comme avec les traits d’un char,

19 Et qui disent: Qu’il hâte, qu’il accélère son œuvre, Afin que nous la voyions! Que le décret du Saint d’Israël arrive et s’exécute, Afin que nous le connaissions!

20 Malheur à ceux qui appellent le mal bien, et le bien mal, Qui changent les ténèbres en lumière, et la lumière en ténèbres, Qui changent l’amertume en douceur, et la douceur en amertume!
