Jeremiah 2:21 in Context — Jeremiah 2
19 Ta méchanceté te châtiera, et ton infidélité te punira, Tu sauras et tu verras que c’est une chose mauvaise et amère D’abandonner l’Éternel, ton Dieu, Et de n’avoir de moi aucune crainte, Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel des armées.
20 Tu as dès longtemps brisé ton joug, Rompu tes liens, Et tu as dit: Je ne veux plus être dans la servitude! Mais sur toute colline élevée Et sous tout arbre vert Tu t’es courbée comme une prostituée.
21 Je t’avais plantée comme une vigne excellente Et du meilleur plant; Comment as-tu changé, Dégénéré en une vigne étrangère?
22 Quand tu te laverais avec du nitre, Quand tu emploierais beaucoup de potasse, Ton iniquité resterait marquée devant moi, Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.
23 Comment dirais-tu: Je ne me suis point souillée, Je ne suis point allée après les Baals? Regarde tes pas dans la vallée, Reconnais ce que tu as fait, Dromadaire à la course légère et vagabonde!
