Jeremiah 22:7 in Context — Jeremiah 22

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

6 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel sur la maison du roi de Juda: Tu es pour moi comme Galaad, comme le sommet du Liban; Mais certes, je ferai de toi un désert, Une ville sans habitants.

7 Je prépare contre toi des destructeurs, Chacun avec ses armes; Ils abattront tes plus beaux cèdres, Et les jetteront au feu.

8 Des nations nombreuses passeront près de cette ville, Et elles se diront l’une à l’autre: Pourquoi l’Éternel a-t-il ainsi traité cette grande ville?

9 Et l’on répondra: Parce qu’ils ont abandonné L’alliance de l’Éternel, leur Dieu, Parce qu’ils se sont prosternés devant d’autres dieux et les ont servis.
