Jeremiah 10:23 in Context — Jeremiah 10
21 Les bergers ont été stupides, Ils n’ont pas cherché l’Éternel; C’est pour cela qu’ils n’ont point prospéré, Et que tous leurs troupeaux se dispersent.
22 Voici, une rumeur se fait entendre; C’est un grand tumulte qui vient du septentrion, Pour réduire les villes de Juda en un désert, En un repaire de chacals.
23 Je le sais, ô Éternel! La voie de l’homme n’est pas en son pouvoir; Ce n’est pas à l’homme, quand il marche, A diriger ses pas.
24 Châtie-moi, ô Éternel! Mais avec équité, Et non dans ta colère, de peur que tu ne m’anéantisses.
25 Répands ta fureur sur les nations qui ne te connaissent pas, Et sur les peuples qui n’invoquent pas ton nom! Car ils dévorent Jacob, ils le dévorent, ils le consument, Ils ravagent sa demeure.
