Isaiah 9:18 in Context — Isaiah 9
16 C’est pourquoi le Seigneur ne saurait se réjouir de leurs jeunes hommes, Ni avoir pitié de leurs orphelins et de leurs veuves; Car tous sont des impies et des méchants, Et toutes les bouches profèrent des infamies. Malgré tout cela, sa colère ne s’apaise point, Et sa main est encore étendue.
17 Car la méchanceté consume comme un feu, Qui dévore ronces et épines; Il embrase l’épaisseur de la forêt, D’où s’élèvent des colonnes de fumée.
18 Par la colère de l’Éternel des armées le pays est embrasé, Et le peuple est comme la proie du feu; Nul n’épargne son frère.
19 On pille à droite, et l’on a faim; On dévore à gauche, et l’on n’est pas rassasié; Chacun dévore la chair de son bras.
20 Manassé dévore Éphraïm, Éphraïm Manassé, Et ensemble ils fondent sur Juda. Malgré tout cela, sa colère ne s’apaise point, Et sa main est encore étendue.
