Jeremiah 19:9 in Context — Jeremiah 19

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.

8 Je ferai de cette ville un objet de désolation et de moquerie; Tous ceux qui passeront près d’elle Seront dans l’étonnement et siffleront sur toutes ses plaies.

9 Je leur ferai manger la chair de leurs fils et la chair de leurs filles, Et les uns mangeront la chair des autres, Au milieu de l’angoisse et de la détresse Où les réduiront leurs ennemis Et ceux qui en veulent à leur vie.

10 Tu briseras ensuite le vase, sous les yeux des hommes qui seront allés avec toi.

11 Et tu leur diras: Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: C’est ainsi que je briserai ce peuple et cette ville, Comme on brise un vase de potier, Sans qu’il puisse être rétabli. Et l’on enterrera les morts à Topheth par défaut de place pour enterrer.
