Jeremiah 12:4 in Context — Jeremiah 12
2 Tu les as plantés, ils ont pris racine, Ils croissent, ils portent du fruit; Tu es près de leur bouche, Mais loin de leur cœur.
3 Et toi, Éternel, tu me connais, Tu me vois, tu sondes mon cœur qui est avec toi. Enlève-les comme des brebis qu’on doit égorger, Et prépare-les pour le jour du carnage!
4 Jusques à quand le pays sera-t-il dans le deuil, Et l’herbe de tous les champs sera-t-elle desséchée? A cause de la méchanceté des habitants, Les bêtes et les oiseaux périssent. Car ils disent: Il ne verra pas notre fin.
5 Si tu cours avec des piétons et qu’ils te fatiguent, Comment pourras-tu lutter avec des chevaux? Et si tu ne te crois en sûreté que dans une contrée paisible, Que feras-tu sur les rives orgueilleuses du Jourdain?
6 Car tes frères eux-mêmes et la maison de ton père te trahissent, Ils crient eux-mêmes à pleine voix derrière toi. Ne les crois pas, quand ils te diront des paroles amicales.
