Jeremiah 19:5 in Context — Jeremiah 19
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.
7 J’anéantirai dans ce lieu le conseil de Juda et de Jérusalem; Je les ferai tomber par l’épée devant leurs ennemis Et par la main de ceux qui en veulent à leur vie; Je donnerai leurs cadavres en pâture Aux oiseaux du ciel et aux bêtes de la terre.
