Isaiah 9:4 in Context — Isaiah 9

2 Tu rends le peuple nombreux, Tu lui accordes de grandes joies; Il se réjouit devant toi, comme on se réjouit à la moisson, Comme on pousse des cris d’allégresse au partage du butin.

3 Car le joug qui pesait sur lui, Le bâton qui frappait son dos, La verge de celui qui l’opprimait, Tu les brises, comme à la journée de Madian.

4 Car toute chaussure qu’on porte dans la mêlée, Et tout vêtement guerrier roulé dans le sang, Seront livrés aux flammes, Pour être dévorés par le feu.

5 Car un enfant nous est né, un fils nous est donné, Et la domination reposera sur son épaule; On l’appellera Admirable, Conseiller, Dieu puissant, Père éternel, Prince de la paix.

6 Donner à l’empire de l’accroissement, Et une paix sans fin au trône de David et à son royaume, L’affermir et le soutenir par le droit et par la justice, Dès maintenant et à toujours: Voilà ce que fera le zèle de l’Éternel des armées.
