Jeremiah 16:7 in Context — Jeremiah 16
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.
8 N’entre pas non plus dans une maison de festin, Pour t’asseoir avec eux, Pour manger et pour boire.
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.
