Ésaïe 33:22

22 Car l'Eternel est notre juge, L'Eternel est notre législateur, L'Eternel est notre roi: C'est lui qui nous sauve.

Ésaïe 33:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 33:22

For the Lord [is] our Judge
The Lord Christ, who has all judgment committed to him by the Father, who will judge his people, right their wrongs, and avenge their injuries: the Lord [is] our Lawgiver;
who has enacted wholesome laws for his church, writes them on their hearts, and puts his Spirit within them, to enable them to keep them: the Lord [is] our King:
King of saints, King of Zion, made so by his Father, owned by his church, under whose government it is in safety: he will save us;
from all sin, and from all enemies, with an everlasting salvation. The church here speaks with great pleasure of her interest in Christ under every character, and of her safety as depending upon him. The Targum is,

``the Lord is our Judge, who brought us by his power out of Egypt; the Lord is our teacher, who gave us the doctrine of the law from Sinai; the Lord is our King, he will redeem us, and take vengeance of judgment for us on the army of Gog;''

which shows that the ancient Jews understood this prophecy as referring to times yet to come.

Ésaïe 33:22 In-Context

20 Regarde Sion, la cité de nos fêtes! Tes yeux verront Jérusalem, séjour tranquille, Tente qui ne sera plus transportée, Dont les pieux ne seront jamais enlevés, Et dont les cordages ne seront point détachés.

21 C'est là vraiment que l'Eternel est magnifique pour nous: Il nous tient lieu de fleuves, de vastes rivières, Où ne pénètrent point de navires à rames, Et que ne traverse aucun grand vaisseau.

22 Car l'Eternel est notre juge, L'Eternel est notre législateur, L'Eternel est notre roi: C'est lui qui nous sauve.

23 Tes cordages sont relâchés; Ils ne serrent plus le pied du mât et ne tendent plus les voiles. Alors on partage la dépouille d'un immense butin; Les boiteux même prennent part au pillage:

24 Aucun habitant ne dit: Je suis malade! Le peuple de Jérusalem reçoit le pardon de ses iniquités.
