Jeremiah 16:2 in Context — Jeremiah 16

1 La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:

2 Tu ne prendras point de femme, Et tu n’auras dans ce lieu ni fils ni filles.

3 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel sur les fils et les filles Qui naîtront en ce lieu, Sur leurs mères qui les auront enfantés, Et sur leurs pères qui les auront engendrés dans ce pays:

4 Ils mourront consumés par la maladie; On ne leur donnera ni larmes ni sépulture; Ils seront comme du fumier sur la terre; Ils périront par l’épée et par la famine; Et leurs cadavres serviront de pâture Aux oiseaux du ciel et aux bêtes de la terre.
