Jeremiah 21:12 in Context — Jeremiah 21

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.

13 Voici, j’en veux à toi, Ville assise dans la vallée, sur le rocher de la plaine, Dit l’Éternel, A vous qui dites: Qui descendra contre nous? Qui entrera dans nos demeures?

14 Je vous châtierai selon le fruit de vos œuvres, dit l’Éternel; Je mettrai le feu à votre forêt, Et il en dévorera tous les alentours.
