Jeremiah 2:27 in Context — Jeremiah 2
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.
26 Comme un voleur est confus lorsqu’il est surpris, Ainsi seront confus ceux de la maison d’Israël, Eux, leurs rois, leurs chefs, Leurs sacrificateurs et leurs prophètes.
27 Ils disent au bois: Tu es mon père! Et à la pierre: Tu m’as donné la vie! Car ils me tournent le dos, ils ne me regardent pas. Et quand ils sont dans le malheur, ils disent: Lève-toi, sauve-nous!
28 Où donc sont tes dieux que tu t’es faits? Qu’ils se lèvent, s’ils peuvent te sauver au temps du malheur! Car tu as autant de dieux que de villes, ô Juda!
29 Pourquoi contesteriez-vous avec moi? Vous m’avez tous été infidèles, dit l’Éternel.
