Isaiah 61:3 in Context — Isaiah 61
1 L’esprit du Seigneur, l’Éternel, est sur moi, Car l’Éternel m’a oint pour porter de bonnes nouvelles aux malheureux; Il m’a envoyé pour guérir ceux qui ont le cœur brisé, Pour proclamer aux captifs la liberté, Et aux prisonniers la délivrance;
2 Pour publier une année de grâce de l’Éternel, Et un jour de vengeance de notre Dieu; Pour consoler tous les affligés;
3 Pour accorder aux affligés de Sion, Pour leur donner un diadème au lieu de la cendre, Une huile de joie au lieu du deuil, Un vêtement de louange au lieu d’un esprit abattu, Afin qu’on les appelle des térébinthes de la justice, Une plantation de l’Éternel, pour servir à sa gloire.
4 Ils rebâtiront sur d’anciennes ruines, Ils relèveront d’antiques décombres, Ils renouvelleront des villes ravagées, Dévastées depuis longtemps.
5 Des étrangers seront là et feront paître vos troupeaux, Des fils de l’étranger seront vos laboureurs et vos vignerons.
