Jeremiah 22:3 in Context — Jeremiah 22

1 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Descends dans la maison du roi de Juda, et là prononce cette parole.

2 Tu diras: Écoute la parole de l’Éternel, roi de Juda, qui es assis sur le trône de David, toi, tes serviteurs, et ton peuple, qui entrez par ces portes!

3 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Pratiquez la justice et l’équité; délivrez l’opprimé des mains de l’oppresseur; ne maltraitez pas l’étranger, l’orphelin et la veuve; n’usez pas de violence, et ne répandez point de sang innocent dans ce lieu.

4 Car si vous agissez selon cette parole, les rois assis sur le trône de David entreront par les portes de cette maison, montés sur des chars et sur des chevaux, eux, leurs serviteurs et leur peuple.

5 Mais si vous n’écoutez pas ces paroles, je le jure par moi-même, dit l’Éternel, cette maison deviendra une ruine.
