Ésaïe 11:10-16

10 En ce jour-là, le rejeton d'Isaï sera comme un étendard dressé pour les peuples; les nations se tourneront vers lui, et sa demeure sera glorieuse.

11 En ce jour-là, le Seigneur étendra encore une fois la main pour racheter les restes de son peuple, qui seront réchappés de l'Assyrie, de l'Égypte, de Pathros, de Cush, d'Élam, de Shinear, de Hamath et des îles de la mer.

12 Il élèvera un étendard vers les nations; il recueillera les exilés d'Israël, et rassemblera les dispersés de Juda, des quatre bouts de la terre.

13 Alors la jalousie d'Éphraïm disparaîtra, et les oppresseurs seront retranchés de Juda; Éphraïm ne sera plus jaloux de Juda, et Juda n'opprimera plus Éphraïm.

14 Mais ils voleront sur l'épaule des Philistins, vers la mer; ensemble ils pilleront les enfants de l'Orient; ils étendront leur main sur Édom et Moab; les enfants d'Ammon leur seront assujettis.

15 Et l'Éternel mettra à sec le bras de mer de l'Égypte; il lèvera sa main sur le fleuve, avec un souffle terrible; il le partagera en sept ruisseaux, et fera qu'on y passe avec des chaussures.

16 Et il y aura une route pour le reste de son peuple, qui sera réchappé de l'Assyrie, comme il y en eut une pour Israël, lorsqu'il remonta du pays d'Egypte.

Ésaïe 11:10-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 11

This chapter is a prophecy of the Messiah, and gives an account of his descent, as man; of his qualifications for his office, as a Judge and King; of his performance of it; of the peaceableness of his kingdom; of the spread of it among the Gentiles, by the preaching of the Gospel; and of the last and general conversion of the Jews. His original and descent from David the son of Jesse, under the titles of a rod and branch, is described as mean and obscure, expressed by stem and roots, Isa 11:1 his gifts and qualifications for his work, in general and particular, Isa 11:2 the performance of it, both with respect to good men and bad men, in the fear of the Lord, with all equity, righteousness, and readiness, Isa 11:3-5 the peaceableness of his kingdom is figuratively expressed, by the agreement of savage and tame creatures, the former becoming the latter, and so losing their malignant and hurtful nature, through the efficacy of the Gospel, spreading the knowledge of Christ all over the world, Isa 11:6-9 particularly among the Gentiles, comparable to those savage creatures, who, upon the exhibition of Christ in the Gospel; should seek to him, and find rest in him, Isa 11:10 which will be followed or accompanied with a collection of the Jews out of all lands, and the conversion of them, which will be brought about by the power and grace of God, all impediments being by him removed out of the way; the consequences of which will be, peace among themselves, and obedience among the Gentiles, Isa 11:11-16.
