Isaiah 55:9 in Context — Isaiah 55
7 Que le méchant abandonne sa voie, Et l’homme d’iniquité ses pensées; Qu’il retourne à l’Éternel, qui aura pitié de lui, A notre Dieu, qui ne se lasse pas de pardonner.
8 Car mes pensées ne sont pas vos pensées, Et vos voies ne sont pas mes voies, Dit l’Éternel.
9 Autant les cieux sont élevés au-dessus de la terre, Autant mes voies sont élevées au-dessus de vos voies, Et mes pensées au-dessus de vos pensées.
10 Comme la pluie et la neige descendent des cieux, Et n’y retournent pas Sans avoir arrosé, fécondé la terre, et fait germer les plantes, Sans avoir donné de la semence au semeur Et du pain à celui qui mange,
11 Ainsi en est-il de ma parole, qui sort de ma bouche: Elle ne retourne point à moi sans effet, Sans avoir exécuté ma volonté Et accompli mes desseins.
