Jeremiah 2:23 in Context — Jeremiah 2
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!
24 Anesse sauvage, habituée au désert, Haletante dans l’ardeur de sa passion, Qui l’empêchera de satisfaire son désir? Tous ceux qui la cherchent n’ont pas à se fatiguer; Ils la trouvent pendant son mois.
25 Ne t’expose pas à avoir les pieds nus, Ne dessèche pas ton gosier! Mais tu dis: C’est en vain, non! Car j’aime les dieux étrangers, je veux aller après eux.
