Jeremiah 20:9 in Context — Jeremiah 20
7 Tu m’as persuadé, Éternel, et je me suis laissé persuader; Tu m’as saisi, tu m’as vaincu. Et je suis chaque jour un objet de raillerie, Tout le monde se moque de moi.
8 Car toutes les fois que je parle, il faut que je crie, Que je crie à la violence et à l’oppression! Et la parole de l’Éternel est pour moi Un sujet d’opprobre et de risée chaque jour.
9 Si je dis: Je ne ferai plus mention de lui, Je ne parlerai plus en son nom, Il y a dans mon cœur comme un feu dévorant Qui est renfermé dans mes os. Je m’efforce de le contenir, et je ne le puis.
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.
