Amos 6:8 in Context — Amos 6
6 Ils boivent le vin dans de larges coupes, Ils s’oignent avec la meilleure huile, Et ils ne s’attristent pas sur la ruine de Joseph!
7 C’est pourquoi ils seront emmenés à la tête des captifs; Et les cris de joie de ces voluptueux cesseront.
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.
