Isaiah 8:17 in Context — Isaiah 8

15 Plusieurs trébucheront; Ils tomberont et se briseront, Ils seront enlacés et pris.

16 Enveloppe cet oracle, Scelle cette révélation, parmi mes disciples.

17 J’espère en l’Éternel, Qui cache sa face à la maison de Jacob; Je place en lui ma confiance.

18 Voici, moi et les enfants que l’Éternel m’a donnés, Nous sommes des signes et des présages en Israël, De la part de l’Éternel des armées, Qui habite sur la montagne de Sion.

19 Si l’on vous dit: Consultez ceux qui évoquent les morts et ceux qui prédisent l’avenir, Qui poussent des sifflements et des soupirs, Répondez: Un peuple ne consultera-t-il pas son Dieu? S’adressera-t-il aux morts en faveur des vivants?
