Isaiah 66:1 in Context — Isaiah 66

1 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Le ciel est mon trône, Et la terre mon marchepied. Quelle maison pourriez-vous me bâtir, Et quel lieu me donneriez-vous pour demeure?

2 Toutes ces choses, ma main les a faites, Et toutes ont reçu l’existence, dit l’Éternel. Voici sur qui je porterai mes regards: Sur celui qui souffre et qui a l’esprit abattu, Sur celui qui craint ma parole.

3 Celui qui immole un bœuf est comme celui qui tuerait un homme, Celui qui sacrifie un agneau est comme celui qui romprait la nuque à un chien, Celui qui présente une offrande est comme celui qui répandrait du sang de porc, Celui qui brûle de l’encens est comme celui qui adorerait des idoles; Tous ceux-là se complaisent dans leurs voies, Et leur âme trouve du plaisir dans leurs abominations.
