Isaiah 8:20 in Context — Isaiah 8
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?
20 A la loi et au témoignage! Si l’on ne parle pas ainsi, Il n’y aura point d’aurore pour le peuple.
21 Il sera errant dans le pays, accablé et affamé; Et, quand il aura faim, il s’irritera, Maudira son roi et son Dieu, Et tournera les yeux en haut;
22 Puis il regardera vers la terre, Et voici, il n’y aura que détresse, obscurité et de sombres angoisses: Il sera repoussé dans d’épaisses ténèbres.
