Isaiah 59:8 in Context — Isaiah 59
6 Leurs toiles ne servent point à faire un vêtement, Et ils ne peuvent se couvrir de leur ouvrage; Leurs œuvres sont des œuvres d’iniquité, Et les actes de violence sont dans leurs mains.
7 Leurs pieds courent au mal, Et ils ont hâte de répandre le sang innocent; Leurs pensées sont des pensées d’iniquité, Le ravage et la ruine sont sur leur route.
8 Ils ne connaissent pas le chemin de la paix, Et il n’y a point de justice dans leurs voies; Ils prennent des sentiers détournés: Quiconque y marche ne connaît point la paix.
9 C’est pourquoi l’arrêt de délivrance est loin de nous, Et le salut ne nous atteint pas; Nous attendons la lumière, et voici les ténèbres, La clarté, et nous marchons dans l’obscurité.
10 Nous tâtonnons comme des aveugles le long d’un mur, Nous tâtonnons comme ceux qui n’ont point d’yeux; Nous chancelons à midi comme de nuit, Au milieu de l’abondance nous ressemblons à des morts.
