Jeremiah 20:12 in Context — Jeremiah 20

10 Car j’apprends les mauvais propos de plusieurs, L’épouvante qui règne à l’entour: Accusez-le, et nous l’accuserons! Tous ceux qui étaient en paix avec moi Observent si je chancelle: Peut-être se laissera-t-il surprendre, Et nous serons maîtres de lui, Nous tirerons vengeance de lui!

11 Mais l’Éternel est avec moi comme un héros puissant; C’est pourquoi mes persécuteurs chancellent et n’auront pas le dessus; Ils seront remplis de confusion pour n’avoir pas réussi: Ce sera une honte éternelle qui ne s’oubliera pas.

12 L’Éternel des armées éprouve le juste, Il pénètre les reins et les cœurs. Je verrai ta vengeance s’exercer contre eux, Car c’est à toi que je confie ma cause.

13 Chantez à l’Éternel, louez l’Éternel! Car il délivre l’âme du malheureux de la main des méchants.

14 Maudit soit le jour où je suis né! Que le jour où ma mère m’a enfanté Ne soit pas béni!
