Isaiah 59:14 in Context — Isaiah 59
12 Car nos transgressions sont nombreuses devant toi, Et nos péchés témoignent contre nous; Nos transgressions sont avec nous, Et nous connaissons nos crimes.
13 Nous avons été coupables et infidèles envers l’Éternel, Nous avons abandonné notre Dieu; Nous avons proféré la violence et la révolte, Conçu et médité dans le cœur des paroles de mensonge;
14 Et la délivrance s’est retirée, Et le salut se tient éloigné; Car la vérité trébuche sur la place publique, Et la droiture ne peut approcher.
15 La vérité a disparu, Et celui qui s’éloigne du mal est dépouillé. L’Éternel voit, d’un regard indigné, Qu’il n’y a plus de droiture.
16 Il voit qu’il n’y a pas un homme, Il s’étonne de ce que personne n’intercède; Alors son bras lui vient en aide, Et sa justice lui sert d’appui.
