Isaiah 54:16 in Context — Isaiah 54
14 Tu seras affermie par la justice; Bannis l’inquiétude, car tu n’as rien à craindre, Et la frayeur, car elle n’approchera pas de toi.
15 Si l’on forme des complots, cela ne viendra pas de moi; Quiconque se liguera contre toi tombera sous ton pouvoir.
16 Voici, j’ai créé l’ouvrier qui souffle le charbon au feu, Et qui fabrique une arme par son travail; Mais j’ai créé aussi le destructeur pour la briser.
17 Toute arme forgée contre toi sera sans effet; Et toute langue qui s’élèvera en justice contre toi, Tu la condamneras. Tel est l’héritage des serviteurs de l’Éternel, Tel est le salut qui leur viendra de moi, Dit l’Éternel.
