Jeremiah 16:11 in Context — Jeremiah 16

9 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Voici, je ferai cesser dans ce lieu, sous vos yeux et de vos jours, Les cris de réjouissance et les cris d’allégresse, Les chants du fiancé et les chants de la fiancée.

10 Lorsque tu annonceras à ce peuple toutes ces choses, Ils te diront: Pourquoi l’Éternel nous menace-t-il de tous ces grands malheurs? Quelle est notre iniquité? Quel péché avons-nous commis contre l’Éternel, notre Dieu?

11 Alors tu leur répondras: Vos pères m’ont abandonné, dit l’Éternel, Ils sont allés après d’autres dieux, Ils les ont servis et se sont prosternés devant eux; Ils m’ont abandonné, et n’ont point observé ma loi.

12 Et vous, vous avez fait le mal plus encore que vos pères; Et voici, vous suivez chacun les penchants de votre mauvais cœur, Pour ne point m’écouter.

13 Je vous transporterai de ce pays Dans un pays que vous n’avez point connu, Ni vous, ni vos pères; Et là, vous servirez les autres dieux jour et nuit, Car je ne vous accorderai point de grâce.
