Jeremiah 2:14 in Context — Jeremiah 2
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?
15 Contre lui les lionceaux rugissent, poussent leurs cris, Et ils ravagent son pays; Ses villes sont brûlées, il n’y a plus d’habitants.
16 Même les enfants de Noph et de Tachpanès Te briseront le sommet de la tête.
