Isaiah 56:3 in Context — Isaiah 56

1 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Observez ce qui est droit, et pratiquez ce qui est juste; Car mon salut ne tardera pas à venir, Et ma justice à se manifester.

2 Heureux l’homme qui fait cela, Et le fils de l’homme qui y demeure ferme, Gardant le sabbat, pour ne point le profaner, Et veillant sur sa main, pour ne commettre aucun mal!

3 Que l’étranger qui s’attache à l’Éternel ne dise pas: L’Éternel me séparera de son peuple! Et que l’eunuque ne dise pas: Voici, je suis un arbre sec!

4 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel: Aux eunuques qui garderont mes sabbats, Qui choisiront ce qui m’est agréable, Et qui persévéreront dans mon alliance,

5 Je donnerai dans ma maison et dans mes murs une place et un nom Préférables à des fils et à des filles; Je leur donnerai un nom éternel, Qui ne périra pas.
