Ésaïe 10:14

La Bible David Martin

Et ma main a trouvé comme un nid les richesses des peuples; et ainsi qu'on rassemble les œufs délaissés, ainsi ai-je rassemblé toute la terre, et il n'y a eu personne qui ait remué l'aile, ou qui ait ouvert le bec, ou qui ait grommelé.

Parallel Translations

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Ma main a trouvé la richesse des peuples, comme on trouve un nid; comme on ramasse des œufs abandonnés, j'ai ramassé, moi, toute la terre; et nul n'a remué l'aile, ni ouvert le bec, ni poussé un cri.

Darby's French Translation
Et ma main a trouvé comme un nid les richesses des peuples; et, comme on ramasse des oeufs délaissés, moi, j'ai ramassé toute la terre, et il n'y en a pas eu un qui ait remué l'aile, ni ouvert le bec, ni crié.

Louis Segond (1910)
J'ai mis la main sur les richesses des peuples, comme sur un nid, Et, comme on ramasse des oeufs abandonnés, J'ai ramassé toute la terre: Nul n'a remué l'aile, Ni ouvert le bec, ni poussé un cri. -

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people,.... With that ease as a man finds a nest of birds, and takes them:

and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left; by the bird, who not sitting upon them, there is none to protect them; whereas, when they are sat upon by the bird, she will flutter with her wings, and strike with her bill, and preserve them as well as she can:

have I gathered all the earth; the kingdoms and inhabitants of it, there being none to resist, or that dared to do it, as follows:

and there was none that moved the wing; as a bird will do, when its young or eggs are taken away from it:

or opened the mouth, or peeped; chattered, clucked, or expressed any grief, uneasiness, or resentment; the Targum is,

"that opened his mouth, and spoke a word.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And my hand hath found, as a nest - By a beautiful and striking figure here, the Assyrian monarch is represented as describing the ease with which he had subdued kingdoms, and rifled them of their treasures. No resistance had been offered. He had taken them with as little opposition as a rustic takes possession of a nest, with its eggs or young, when the parent bird is away.

Eggs that are left - That is, eggs that are left of the parent bird; when the bird from fright, or any other cause, has gone, and when no resistance is offered.

Have I gathered all the earth - That is, I have subdued and plundered it. This shows the height of his self-confidence and his arrogant assumptions.

That moved the wing - Keeping up the figure of the nest. There was none that offered resistance; as an angry bird does when her nest is about to be robbed.

Or opened the mouth - To make a noise in alarm. The dread of him produced perfect silence and submission.

Or peeped - Or that chirped - the noise made by young birds; the note at Isaiah 8:19. The idea is, that such was the dread of his name and power that there was universal silence. None dared to resist the terror of his arms.
