Jeremiah 13:16 in Context — Jeremiah 13
14 Je les briserai les uns contre les autres, Les pères et les fils ensemble, dit l’Éternel; Je n’épargnerai pas, je n’aurai point de pitié, point de miséricorde, Rien ne m’empêchera de les détruire.
15 Écoutez et prêtez l’oreille! Ne soyez point orgueilleux! Car l’Éternel parle.
16 Rendez gloire à l’Éternel, votre Dieu, Avant qu’il fasse venir les ténèbres, Avant que vos pieds heurtent contre les montagnes de la nuit; Vous attendrez la lumière, Et il la changera en ombre de la mort, Il la réduira en obscurité profonde.
17 Si vous n’écoutez pas, Je pleurerai en secret, à cause de votre orgueil; Mes yeux fondront en larmes, Parce que le troupeau de l’Éternel sera emmené captif.
18 Dis au roi et à la reine: Asseyez-vous à terre! Car il est tombé de vos têtes, Le diadème qui vous servait d’ornement.
