Jeremiah 20:14 in Context — Jeremiah 20

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!

15 Maudit soit l’homme qui porta cette nouvelle à mon père: Il t’est né un enfant mâle, Et qui le combla de joie!

16 Que cet homme soit comme les villes Que l’Éternel a détruites sans miséricorde! Qu’il entende des gémissements le matin, Et des cris de guerre à midi!
