Jeremiah 21:9 in Context — Jeremiah 21
7 Après cela, dit l’Éternel, je livrerai Sédécias, roi de Juda, ses serviteurs, le peuple, et ceux qui dans cette ville échapperont à la peste, à l’épée et à la famine, je les livrerai entre les mains de Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, entre les mains de leurs ennemis, entre les mains de ceux qui en veulent à leur vie; et Nebucadnetsar les frappera du tranchant de l’épée, il ne les épargnera pas, il n’aura point de pitié, point de compassion.
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!
