Isaiah 52:5 in Context — Isaiah 52
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!
7 Qu’ils sont beaux sur les montagnes, Les pieds de celui qui apporte de bonnes nouvelles, Qui publie la paix! De celui qui apporte de bonnes nouvelles, Qui publie le salut! De celui qui dit à Sion: Ton Dieu règne!
