Isaiah 57:16 in Context — Isaiah 57
14 On dira: Frayez, frayez, préparez le chemin, Enlevez tout obstacle du chemin de mon peuple!
15 Car ainsi parle le Très-Haut, Dont la demeure est éternelle et dont le nom est saint: J’habite dans les lieux élevés et dans la sainteté; Mais je suis avec l’homme contrit et humilié, Afin de ranimer les esprits humiliés, Afin de ranimer les cœurs contrits.
16 Je ne veux pas contester à toujours, Ni garder une éternelle colère, Quand devant moi tombent en défaillance les esprits, Les âmes que j’ai faites.
17 A cause de son avidité coupable, je me suis irrité et je l’ai frappé, Je me suis caché dans mon indignation; Et le rebelle a suivi le chemin de son cœur.
18 J’ai vu ses voies, Et je le guérirai; Je lui servirai de guide, Et je le consolerai, lui et ceux qui pleurent avec lui.
