Jeremiah 16:5 in Context — Jeremiah 16
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.
5 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel: N’entre pas dans une maison de deuil, N’y va pas pleurer, te lamenter avec eux; Car j’ai retiré à ce peuple ma paix, dit l’Éternel, Ma bonté et ma miséricorde.
6 Grands et petits mourront dans ce pays; On ne leur donnera point de sépulture; On ne les pleurera point, On ne se fera point d’incisions, Et l’on ne se rasera pas pour eux.
7 On ne rompra pas le pain dans le deuil Pour consoler quelqu’un au sujet d’un mort, Et l’on n’offrira pas la coupe de consolation Pour un père ou pour une mère.
