Jeremiah 14:6 in Context — Jeremiah 14

4 La terre est saisie d’épouvante, Parce qu’il ne tombe point de pluie dans le pays, Et les laboureurs confus se couvrent la tête.

5 Même la biche dans la campagne Met bas et abandonne sa portée, Parce qu’il n’y a point de verdure.

6 Les ânes sauvages se tiennent sur les lieux élevés, Aspirant l’air comme des serpents; Leurs yeux languissent, parce qu’il n’y a point d’herbe.

7 Si nos iniquités témoignent contre nous, Agis à cause de ton nom, ô Éternel! Car nos infidélités sont nombreuses, Nous avons péché contre toi.

8 Toi qui es l’espérance d’Israël, Son sauveur au temps de la détresse, Pourquoi serais-tu comme un étranger dans le pays, Comme un voyageur qui y entre pour passer la nuit?
