Jeremiah 12:9 in Context — Jeremiah 12

7 J’ai abandonné ma maison, J’ai délaissé mon héritage, J’ai livré l’objet de mon amour aux mains de ses ennemis.

8 Mon héritage a été pour moi comme un lion dans la forêt, Il a poussé contre moi ses rugissements; C’est pourquoi je l’ai pris en haine.

9 Mon héritage a été pour moi un oiseau de proie, une hyène; Aussi les oiseaux de proie viendront de tous côtés contre lui. Allez, rassemblez tous les animaux des champs, Faites-les venir pour qu’ils le dévorent!

10 Des bergers nombreux ravagent ma vigne, Ils foulent mon champ; Ils réduisent le champ de mes délices En un désert, en une solitude.

11 Ils le réduisent en un désert; Il est en deuil, il est désolé devant moi. Tout le pays est ravagé, Car nul n’y prend garde.
