14 Il sera pour toi un sujet de joie et d’allégresse, et plusieurs se réjouiront de sa naissance.

16 il ramènera plusieurs des fils d’Israël au Seigneur, leur Dieu;

17 il marchera devant Dieu avec l’esprit et la puissance d’Élie, pour ramener les cœurs des pères vers les enfants, et les rebelles à la sagesse des justes, afin de préparer au Seigneur un peuple bien disposé.
