23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
Mais tu t’es élevé contre le Seigneur des cieux; et on a apporté devant toi les vases de sa maison, et toi et tes grands, tes femmes et tes concubines, vous y avez bu du vin; et tu as loué les dieux d’argent et d’or, d’airain, de fer, de bois et de pierre, qui ne voient, et n’entendent, et ne comprennent point; et le Dieu en la main duquel est ton souffle, et à qui appartiennent toutes tes voies, tu ne l’as pas glorifié.
