Isaiah 58:2 in Context — Isaiah 58
1 Crie à plein gosier, ne te retiens pas, Élève ta voix comme une trompette, Et annonce à mon peuple ses iniquités, A la maison de Jacob ses péchés!
2 Tous les jours ils me cherchent, Ils veulent connaître mes voies; Comme une nation qui aurait pratiqué la justice Et n’aurait pas abandonné la loi de son Dieu, Ils me demandent des arrêts de justice, Ils désirent l’approche de Dieu.
3 Que nous sert de jeûner, si tu ne le vois pas? De mortifier notre âme, si tu n’y as point égard? Voici, le jour de votre jeûne, vous vous livrez à vos penchants, Et vous traitez durement tous vos mercenaires.
4 Voici, vous jeûnez pour disputer et vous quereller, Pour frapper méchamment du poing; Vous ne jeûnez pas comme le veut ce jour, Pour que votre voix soit entendue en haut.
