Jeremiah 2:6 in Context — Jeremiah 2

4 Écoutez la parole de l’Éternel, maison de Jacob, Et vous toutes, familles de la maison d’Israël!

5 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Quelle iniquité vos pères ont-ils trouvée en moi, Pour s’éloigner de moi, Et pour aller après des choses de néant et n’être eux-mêmes que néant?

6 Ils n’ont pas dit: Où est l’Éternel, Qui nous a fait monter du pays d’Égypte, Qui nous a conduits dans le désert, Dans une terre aride et pleine de fosses, Dans une terre où règnent la sécheresse et l’ombre de la mort, Dans une terre par où personne ne passe, Et où n’habite aucun homme?

7 Je vous ai fait venir dans un pays semblable à un verger, Pour que vous en mangiez les fruits et les meilleures productions; Mais vous êtes venus, et vous avez souillé mon pays, Et vous avez fait de mon héritage une abomination.

8 Les sacrificateurs n’ont pas dit: Où est l’Éternel? Les dépositaires de la loi ne m’ont pas connu, Les pasteurs m’ont été infidèles, Les prophètes ont prophétisé par Baal, Et sont allés après ceux qui ne sont d’aucun secours.
