Jeremiah 22:16 in Context — Jeremiah 22
14 Qui dit: Je me bâtirai une maison vaste, Et des chambres spacieuses; Et qui s’y fait percer des fenêtres, La lambrisse de cèdre, Et la peint en couleur rouge!
15 Est-ce que tu règnes, parce que tu as de la passion pour le cèdre? Ton père ne mangeait-il pas, ne buvait-il pas? Mais il pratiquait la justice et l’équité, Et il fut heureux;
16 Il jugeait la cause du pauvre et de l’indigent, Et il fut heureux. N’est-ce pas là me connaître? Dit l’Éternel.
17 Mais tu n’as des yeux et un cœur Que pour te livrer à la cupidité, Pour répandre le sang innocent, Et pour exercer l’oppression et la violence.
18 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel sur Jojakim, fils de Josias, roi de Juda: On ne le pleurera pas, en disant: Hélas, mon frère! Hélas, ma sœur! On ne le pleurera pas, en disant: Hélas, seigneur! Hélas, sa majesté!
