Jeremiah 17:6 in Context — Jeremiah 17
4 Tu perdras par ta faute l’héritage que je t’avais donné; Je t’asservirai à ton ennemi dans un pays que tu ne connais pas; Car vous avez allumé le feu de ma colère, Et il brûlera toujours.
5 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Maudit soit l’homme qui se confie dans l’homme, Qui prend la chair pour son appui, Et qui détourne son cœur de l’Éternel!
6 Il est comme un misérable dans le désert, Et il ne voit point arriver le bonheur; Il habite les lieux brûlés du désert, Une terre salée et sans habitants.
7 Béni soit l’homme qui se confie dans l’Éternel, Et dont l’Éternel est l’espérance!
8 Il est comme un arbre planté près des eaux, Et qui étend ses racines vers le courant; Il n’aperçoit point la chaleur quand elle vient, Et son feuillage reste vert; Dans l’année de la sécheresse, il n’a point de crainte, Et il ne cesse de porter du fruit.
