Amos 6:13 in Context — Amos 6

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?

13 Vous vous réjouissez de ce qui n’est que néant, Vous dites: N’est-ce pas par notre force Que nous avons acquis de la puissance?

14 C’est pourquoi voici, je ferai lever contre vous, maison d’Israël, Dit l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, une nation Qui vous opprimera depuis l’entrée de Hamath Jusqu’au torrent du désert.
