Jeremiah 10:18 in Context — Jeremiah 10

16 Celui qui est la part de Jacob n’est pas comme elles; Car c’est lui qui a tout formé, Et Israël est la tribu de son héritage. L’Éternel des armées est son nom.

17 Emporte du pays ce qui t’appartient, Toi qui es assise dans la détresse!

18 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, cette fois je vais lancer au loin les habitants du pays; Je vais les serrer de près, afin qu’on les atteigne.

19 Malheur à moi! Je suis brisée! Ma plaie est douloureuse! Mais je dis: C’est une calamité qui m’arrive, Je la supporterai!

20 Ma tente est détruite, Tous mes cordages sont rompus; Mes fils m’ont quittée, ils ne sont plus; Je n’ai personne qui dresse de nouveau ma tente, Qui relève mes pavillons.
