Jeremiah 10:3 in Context — Jeremiah 10
1 Écoutez la parole que l’Éternel vous adresse, Maison d’Israël!
2 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: N’imitez pas la voie des nations, Et ne craignez pas les signes du ciel, Parce que les nations les craignent.
3 Car les coutumes des peuples ne sont que vanité. On coupe le bois dans la forêt; La main de l’ouvrier le travaille avec la hache;
4 On l’embellit avec de l’argent et de l’or, On le fixe avec des clous et des marteaux, Pour qu’il ne branle pas.
5 Ces dieux sont comme une colonne massive, et ils ne parlent point; On les porte, parce qu’ils ne peuvent marcher. Ne les craignez pas, car ils ne sauraient faire aucun mal, Et ils sont incapables de faire du bien.
