Isaiah 52:4 in Context — Isaiah 52

2 Secoue ta poussière, lève-toi, Mets-toi sur ton séant, Jérusalem! Détache les liens de ton cou, Captive, fille de Sion!

3 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel: C’est gratuitement que vous avez été vendus, Et ce n’est pas à prix d’argent que vous serez rachetés.

4 Car ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Jadis mon peuple descendit en Égypte, pour y séjourner; Puis l’Assyrien l’opprima sans cause.

5 Et maintenant, qu’ai-je à faire, dit l’Éternel, Quand mon peuple a été gratuitement enlevé? Ses tyrans poussent des cris, dit l’Éternel, Et toute la durée du jour mon nom est outragé.

6 C’est pourquoi mon peuple connaîtra mon nom; C’est pourquoi il saura, en ce jour, Que c’est moi qui parle: me voici!
