Jeremiah 13:22 in Context — Jeremiah 13

20 Lève tes yeux et regarde Ceux qui viennent du septentrion. Où est le troupeau qui t’avait été donné, Le troupeau qui faisait ta gloire?

21 Que diras-tu de ce qu’il te châtie? C’est toi-même qui leur as appris à te traiter en maîtres. Les douleurs ne te saisiront-elles pas, Comme elles saisissent une femme en travail?

22 Si tu dis en ton cœur: Pourquoi cela m’arrive-t-il? C’est à cause de la multitude de tes iniquités Que les pans de tes habits sont relevés, Et que tes talons sont violemment mis à nu.

23 Un Éthiopien peut-il changer sa peau, Et un léopard ses taches? De même, pourriez-vous faire le bien, Vous qui êtes accoutumés à faire le mal?

24 Je les disperserai, comme la paille emportée Par le vent du désert.
