Jeremiah 2:12 in Context — Jeremiah 2

10 Passez aux îles de Kittim, et regardez! Envoyez quelqu’un à Kédar, observez bien, Et regardez s’il y a rien de semblable!

11 Y a-t-il une nation qui change ses dieux, Quoiqu’ils ne soient pas des dieux? Et mon peuple a changé sa gloire contre ce qui n’est d’aucun secours!

12 Cieux, soyez étonnés de cela; Frémissez d’épouvante et d’horreur! Dit l’Éternel.

13 Car mon peuple a commis un double péché: Ils m’ont abandonné, moi qui suis une source d’eau vive, Pour se creuser des citernes, des citernes crevassées, Qui ne retiennent pas l’eau.

14 Israël est-il un esclave acheté, ou né dans la maison? Pourquoi donc devient-il une proie?
