The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.
30
How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had delivered them up?
31
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
27
The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy!'
2
There is no one as holy as Yahweh, For there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
25
Haven't you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now have I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
13
Arise, Yahweh, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;

7
Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?

9
Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the incense altars shall rise no more.
10
For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.
26
Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
28
Haven't you known? Haven't you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn't faint. He isn't weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
15
I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."
7
Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
15
For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
27
For thus says Yahweh, "The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.
18
"But even in those days," says Yahweh, "I will not make a full end with you.
9
behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Yahweh, and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11
This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12
It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Yahweh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
13
I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14
For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.
11
For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.
19
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.
20
Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a darling child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says Yahweh.
24
Don't consider what this people has spoken, saying, The two families which Yahweh chose, he has cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25
Thus says Yahweh: If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26
then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.
28
Don't you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.

8
Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says Yahweh.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
2
Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
6
"For I, Yahweh, don't change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

10
And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12
As a mantle, you will roll them up, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will not fail."
5
and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives."
8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
8
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
11
saying, " What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies : to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
Après cette annonce, pleine de menaces du jugement de Dieu, le prophète prend la parole à son tour. Il fait appel, au nom de l'Israël croyant, à la miséricorde divine et puise dans la pensée de la sainteté de Dieu l'assurance que l'Eternel, après avoir châtié son peuple pécheur, ne laissera pas non plus impunis les crimes de ces Chaldéens : car ce peuple féroce frappe non seulement les vrais coupables qui ont attiré sur eux la colère céleste, mais encore les justes, les membres innocents de la nation.
Ces premiers mots du verset 12 se rattachent étroitement aux derniers du verset 11 ; le dieu du Chaldéen est sa propre force ; fragile appui ! Tandis que le Dieu d'Israël est l'Eternel, celui qui, sous ce nom même (Exode 3.14 ; 6.23), a conclu alliance avec son peuple.
Mon Saint, voir Esaïe 1.1.
Nous ne mourrons pas : ces mots expriment la certitude qu'après que le Chaldéen aura accompli l'œuvre du châtiment dont il est chargé auprès du peuple de Dieu, celui-ci ressortira sain et sauf et purifié du creuset.
C’est un grand réconfort de savoir que, quel que soit le mal que l'homme peut concevoir, le Seigneur accomplit toujours le bien ; nous pouvons être assurés que Sa Sagesse prévaudra toujours !
Bien que le méchant prospère parfois pour un temps, Dieu reste le Maître et le Saint, Il ne peut approuver le mal pratiqué ici-bas. N’ayant jamais connu Lui-même l'iniquité, Il ne peut même pas tourner Son regard vers elle, Ses yeux sont trop purs !
Nous devons rester fidèles à ce fondement de base, bien que parfois, la Providence divine nous semble, pour un temps et dans certains cas, aller à l'encontre de ce principe.
Le prophète se plaint de la patience de Dieu, estimant que ce Dernier tarde à punir la malhonnêteté des pécheurs et ceux qui pratiquent le mal.
Certains hommes seront « pris à l'hameçon » un par un, (verset quinze) ; d'autres seront attrapés dans un filet, comme un banc de poissons. Tous admirent avec fatuité leur propre intelligence et leur ingéniosité...
Nous avons souvent tendance à nous glorifier de notre prospérité, de tout ce qui se remarque extérieurement. Nous devenons notre propre idole, ne cherchant qu’à nous flatter nous-même.
Dieu va bientôt mettre fin à tout le mal commis ici-bas. La mort et le jugement empêcheront les hommes d'exploiter leurs semblables, ils seront eux-mêmes la proie de leurs adversaires. Souvenons-nous que, pour tout ce que nous possédons, nous devons en donner toute la gloire à Dieu !
