Jeremiah 18:16 in Context — Jeremiah 18
14 La neige du Liban abandonne-t-elle le rocher des champs? Ou voit-on tarir les eaux qui viennent de loin, fraîches et courantes?
15 Cependant mon peuple m’a oublié, il offre de l’encens à des idoles; Il a été conduit à chanceler dans ses voies, à quitter les anciens sentiers, Pour suivre des sentiers, des chemins non frayés.
16 Ils ont fait de leur pays, un objet de désolation, d’éternelle moquerie; Tous ceux qui y passent sont stupéfaits et secouent la tête.
17 Pareil au vent d’orient, je les disperserai devant l’ennemi; Je leur tournerai le dos, je ne les regarderai pas au jour de leur détresse.
18 Et ils ont dit: Venez, complotons contre Jérémie! Car la loi ne périra pas faute de sacrificateurs, Ni le conseil faute de sages, ni la parole faute de prophètes. Venez, tuons-le avec la langue; Ne prenons pas garde à tous ses discours!
