Amos 6:10 in Context — Amos 6
8 Le Seigneur, l’Éternel, l’a juré par lui-même; L’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, a dit: J’ai en horreur l’orgueil de Jacob, Et je hais ses palais; Je livrerai la ville et tout ce qu’elle renferme.
9 Et s’il reste dix hommes dans une maison, ils mourront.
10 Lorsqu’un parent prendra un mort pour le brûler Et qu’il enlèvera de la maison les ossements, Il dira à celui qui est au fond de la maison: Y a-t-il encore quelqu’un avec toi? Et cet homme répondra: Personne… Et l’autre dira: Silence! Ce n’est pas le moment de prononcer le nom de l’Éternel.
11 Car voici, l’Éternel ordonne: Il fera tomber en ruines la grande maison, Et en débris la petite maison.
12 Est-ce que les chevaux courent sur un rocher, Est-ce qu’on y laboure avec des bœufs, Pour que vous ayez changé la droiture en poison, Et le fruit de la justice en absinthe?
