Jeremiah 14:18 in Context — Jeremiah 14
16 Et ceux à qui ils prophétisent Seront étendus dans les rues de Jérusalem, Par la famine et par l’épée; Il n’y aura personne pour leur donner la sépulture, Ni à eux, ni à leurs femmes, ni à leurs fils, ni à leurs filles; Je répandrai sur eux leur méchanceté.
17 Dis-leur cette parole: Les larmes coulent de mes yeux nuit et jour, Et elles ne s’arrêtent pas; Car la vierge, fille de mon peuple, a été frappée d’un grand coup, D’une plaie très douloureuse.
18 Si je vais dans les champs, voici des hommes que le glaive a percés; Si j’entre dans la ville, voici des êtres que consume la faim; Le prophète même et le sacrificateur parcourent le pays, Sans savoir où ils vont.
19 As-tu donc rejeté Juda, Et ton âme a-t-elle pris Sion en horreur? Pourquoi nous frappes-tu Sans qu’il y ait pour nous de guérison? Nous espérions la paix, et il n’arrive rien d’heureux, Un temps de guérison, et voici la terreur!
20 Éternel, nous reconnaissons notre méchanceté, l’iniquité de nos pères; Car nous avons péché contre toi.
