Isaiah 51:6 in Context — Isaiah 51

4 Mon peuple, sois attentif! Ma nation, prête-moi l’oreille! Car la loi sortira de moi, Et j’établirai ma loi pour être la lumière des peuples.

5 Ma justice est proche, mon salut va paraître, Et mes bras jugeront les peuples; Les îles espéreront en moi, Elles se confieront en mon bras.

6 Levez les yeux vers le ciel, et regardez en bas sur la terre! Car les cieux s’évanouiront comme une fumée, La terre tombera en lambeaux comme un vêtement, Et ses habitants périront comme des mouches; Mais mon salut durera éternellement, Et ma justice n’aura point de fin.

7 Écoutez-moi, vous qui connaissez la justice, Peuple, qui as ma loi dans ton cœur! Ne craignez pas l’opprobre des hommes, Et ne tremblez pas devant leurs outrages.

8 Car la teigne les dévorera comme un vêtement, Et la gerce les rongera comme de la laine; Mais ma justice durera éternellement, Et mon salut s’étendra d’âge en âge.
