2 Chronicles 36:21 in Context — 2 Chronicles 36

19 Ils brûlèrent la maison de Dieu, ils démolirent les murailles de Jérusalem, ils livrèrent au feu tous ses palais et détruisirent tous les objets précieux.

20 Nebucadnetsar emmena captifs à Babylone ceux qui échappèrent à l’épée; et ils lui furent assujettis, à lui et à ses fils, jusqu’à la domination du royaume de Perse,

21 afin que s’accomplît la parole de l’Éternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie; jusqu’à ce que le pays eût joui de ses sabbats, il se reposa tout le temps qu’il fut dévasté, jusqu’à l’accomplissement de soixante-dix ans.

22 La première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, afin que s’accomplît la parole de l’Éternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie, l’Éternel réveilla l’esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse, qui fit faire de vive voix et par écrit cette publication dans tout son royaume:

23 Ainsi parle Cyrus, roi de Perse: L’Éternel, le Dieu des cieux, m’a donné tous les royaumes de la terre, et il m’a commandé de lui bâtir une maison à Jérusalem en Juda. Qui d’entre vous est de son peuple? Que l’Éternel, son Dieu, soit avec lui, et qu’il monte!
