Isaiah 59:17 in Context — Isaiah 59

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.

17 Il se revêt de la justice comme d’une cuirasse, Et il met sur sa tête le casque du salut; Il prend la vengeance pour vêtement, Et il se couvre de la jalousie comme d’un manteau.

18 Il rendra à chacun selon ses œuvres, La fureur à ses adversaires, La pareille à ses ennemis; Il rendra la pareille aux îles.

19 On craindra le nom de l’Éternel depuis l’occident, Et sa gloire depuis le soleil levant; Quand l’ennemi viendra comme un fleuve, L’esprit de l’Éternel le mettra en fuite.
