Jeremiah 17:23 in Context — Jeremiah 17
21 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Prenez garde à vos âmes; Ne portez point de fardeau le jour du sabbat, Et n’en introduisez point par les portes de Jérusalem.
22 Ne sortez de vos maisons aucun fardeau le jour du sabbat, Et ne faites aucun ouvrage; Mais sanctifiez le jour du sabbat, Comme je l’ai ordonné à vos pères.
23 Ils n’ont pas écouté, ils n’ont pas prêté l’oreille; Ils ont raidi leur cou, Pour ne point écouter et ne point recevoir instruction.
24 Si vous m’écoutez, dit l’Éternel, Si vous n’introduisez point de fardeau Par les portes de cette ville le jour du sabbat, Si vous sanctifiez le jour du sabbat, Et ne faites aucun ouvrage ce jour-là,
25 Alors entreront par les portes de cette ville Les rois et les princes assis sur le trône de David, Montés sur des chars et sur des chevaux, Eux et leurs princes, les hommes de Juda et les habitants de Jérusalem, Et cette ville sera habitée à toujours.
