Jeremiah 21:10 in Context — Jeremiah 21

8 Tu diras à ce peuple: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, je mets devant vous le chemin de la vie et le chemin de la mort.

9 Celui qui restera dans cette ville mourra par l’épée, par la famine ou par la peste; mais celui qui sortira pour se rendre aux Chaldéens qui vous assiègent aura la vie sauve, et sa vie sera son butin.

10 Car je dirige mes regards contre cette ville pour faire du mal et non du bien, dit l’Éternel; elle sera livrée entre les mains du roi de Babylone, qui la brûlera par le feu.

11 Et tu diras à la maison du roi de Juda: Écoutez la parole de l’Éternel!

12 Maison de David! Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Rendez la justice dès le matin, Et délivrez l’opprimé des mains de l’oppresseur, De peur que ma colère n’éclate comme un feu, Et ne s’enflamme, sans qu’on puisse l’éteindre, A cause de la méchanceté de vos actions.
