Jeremiah 17:16 in Context — Jeremiah 17
14 Guéris-moi, Éternel, et je serai guéri; Sauve-moi, et je serai sauvé; Car tu es ma gloire.
15 Voici, ils me disent: Où est la parole de l’Éternel? Qu’elle s’accomplisse donc!
16 Et moi, pour t’obéir, je n’ai pas refusé d’être pasteur; Je n’ai pas non plus désiré le jour du malheur, tu le sais; Ce qui est sorti de mes lèvres a été découvert devant toi.
17 Ne sois pas pour moi un sujet d’effroi, Toi, mon refuge au jour du malheur!
18 Que mes persécuteurs soient confus, et que je ne sois pas confus; Qu’ils tremblent, et que je ne tremble pas, moi! Fais venir sur eux le jour du malheur, Frappe-les d’une double plaie!
