Jeremiah 16:20 in Context — Jeremiah 16
18 Je leur donnerai d’abord le double salaire de leur iniquité et de leur péché, Parce qu’ils ont profané mon pays, Parce qu’ils ont rempli mon héritage Des cadavres de leurs idoles et de leurs abominations.
19 Éternel, ma force et mon appui, mon refuge au jour de la détresse! Les nations viendront à toi des extrémités de la terre, Et elles diront: Nos pères n’ont hérité que le mensonge, De vaines idoles, qui ne servent à rien.
20 L’homme peut-il se faire des dieux, Qui ne sont pas des dieux?
21 C’est pourquoi voici, je leur fais connaître, cette fois, Je leur fais connaître ma puissance et ma force; Et ils sauront que mon nom est l’Éternel.
