Jeremiah 14:9 in Context — Jeremiah 14

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?

9 Pourquoi serais-tu comme un homme stupéfait, Comme un héros incapable de nous secourir? Tu es pourtant au milieu de nous, ô Éternel, Et ton nom est invoqué sur nous: Ne nous abandonne pas!

10 Voici ce que l’Éternel dit de ce peuple: Ils aiment à courir çà et là, Ils ne savent retenir leurs pieds; L’Éternel n’a point d’attachement pour eux, Il se souvient maintenant de leurs crimes, Et il châtie leurs péchés.

11 Et l’Éternel me dit: N’intercède pas en faveur de ce peuple.
