Isaiah 61:8 in Context — Isaiah 61

6 Mais vous, on vous appellera sacrificateurs de l’Éternel, On vous nommera serviteurs de notre Dieu; Vous mangerez les richesses des nations, Et vous vous glorifierez de leur gloire.

7 Au lieu de votre opprobre, vous aurez une portion double; Au lieu de l’ignominie, ils seront joyeux de leur part; Ils posséderont ainsi le double dans leur pays, Et leur joie sera éternelle.

8 Car moi, l’Éternel, j’aime la justice, Je hais la rapine avec l’iniquité; Je leur donnerai fidèlement leur récompense, Et je traiterai avec eux une alliance éternelle.

9 Leur race sera connue parmi les nations, Et leur postérité parmi les peuples; Tous ceux qui les verront reconnaîtront Qu’ils sont une race bénie de l’Éternel.

10 Je me réjouirai en l’Éternel, Mon âme sera ravie d’allégresse en mon Dieu; Car il m’a revêtu des vêtements du salut, Il m’a couvert du manteau de la délivrance, Comme le fiancé s’orne d’un diadème, Comme la fiancée se pare de ses joyaux.
