Zephaniah 3:7 in Context — Zephaniah 3
5 L’Éternel est juste au milieu d’elle, Il ne commet point d’iniquité; Chaque matin il produit à la lumière ses jugements, Sans jamais y manquer; Mais celui qui est inique ne connaît pas la honte.
6 J’ai exterminé des nations; leurs tours sont détruites; J’ai dévasté leurs rues, plus de passants! Leurs villes sont ravagées, plus d’hommes, plus d’habitants!
7 Je disais: Si du moins tu voulais me craindre, Avoir égard à la correction, Ta demeure ne serait pas détruite, Tous les châtiments dont je t’ai menacée n’arriveraient pas; Mais ils se sont hâtés de pervertir toutes leurs actions.
8 Attendez-moi donc, dit l’Éternel, Au jour où je me lèverai pour le butin, Car j’ai résolu de rassembler les nations, De rassembler les royaumes, Pour répandre sur eux ma fureur, Toute l’ardeur de ma colère; Car par le feu de ma jalousie tout le pays sera consumé.
9 Alors je donnerai aux peuples des lèvres pures, Afin qu’ils invoquent tous le nom de l’Éternel, Pour le servir d’un commun accord.
