Isaiah 63:16 in Context — Isaiah 63

14 Comme la bête qui descend dans la vallée, L’esprit de l’Éternel les a menés au repos. C’est ainsi que tu as conduit ton peuple, Pour te faire un nom glorieux.

15 Regarde du ciel, et vois, De ta demeure sainte et glorieuse: Où sont ton zèle et ta puissance? Le frémissement de tes entrailles et tes compassions Ne se font plus sentir envers moi.

16 Tu es cependant notre père, Car Abraham ne nous connaît pas, Et Israël ignore qui nous sommes; C’est toi, Éternel, qui es notre père, Qui, dès l’éternité, t’appelles notre sauveur.

17 Pourquoi, ô Éternel, nous fais-tu errer loin de tes voies, Et endurcis-tu notre cœur contre ta crainte? Reviens, pour l’amour de tes serviteurs, Des tribus de ton héritage!

18 Ton peuple saint n’a possédé le pays que peu de temps; Nos ennemis ont foulé ton sanctuaire.
