Jeremiah 19:4 in Context — Jeremiah 19

2 Rends-toi dans la vallée de Ben-Hinnom, qui est à l’entrée de la porte de la poterie; et là, tu publieras les paroles que je te dirai.

3 Tu diras: Écoutez la parole de l’Éternel, rois de Juda, et vous, habitants de Jérusalem! Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Voici, je vais faire venir sur ce lieu un malheur Qui étourdira les oreilles de quiconque en entendra parler.

4 Ils m’ont abandonné, ils ont profané ce lieu, Ils y ont offert de l’encens à d’autres dieux, Que ne connaissaient ni eux, ni leurs pères, ni les rois de Juda, Et ils ont rempli ce lieu de sang innocent;

5 Ils ont bâti des hauts lieux à Baal, Pour brûler leurs enfants au feu en holocaustes à Baal: Ce que je n’avais ni ordonné ni prescrit, Ce qui ne m’était point venu à la pensée.

6 C’est pourquoi voici, les jours viennent, dit l’Éternel, Où ce lieu ne sera plus appelé Topheth et vallée de Ben-Hinnom, Mais où on l’appellera vallée du carnage.
