Jeremiah 2:16 in Context — Jeremiah 2

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?

18 Et maintenant, qu’as-tu à faire d’aller en Égypte, Pour boire l’eau du Nil? Qu’as-tu à faire d’aller en Assyrie, Pour boire l’eau du fleuve?
