Jeremiah 20:15 in Context — Jeremiah 20
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!
17 Que ne m’a-t-on fait mourir dans le sein de ma mère! Que ne m’a-t-elle servi de tombeau! Que n’est-elle restée éternellement enceinte!
