Jeremiah 13:23 in Context — Jeremiah 13
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.
25 Voilà ton sort, la part que je te mesure, Dit l’Éternel, Parce que tu m’as oublié, Et que tu as mis ta confiance dans le mensonge.
