Jeremiah 2:15 in Context — Jeremiah 2

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.

17 Cela ne t’arrive-t-il pas Parce que tu as abandonné l’Éternel, ton Dieu, Lorsqu’il te dirigeait dans la bonne voie?
