Jeremiah 23:12 in Context — Jeremiah 23

10 Car le pays est rempli d’adultères; Le pays est en deuil à cause de la malédiction; Les plaines du désert sont desséchées. Ils courent au mal, Ils n’ont de la force que pour l’iniquité.

11 Prophètes et sacrificateurs sont corrompus; Même dans ma maison j’ai trouvé leur méchanceté, Dit l’Éternel.

12 C’est pourquoi leur chemin sera glissant et ténébreux, Ils seront poussés et ils tomberont; Car je ferai venir sur eux le malheur, L’année où je les châtierai, dit l’Éternel.

13 Dans les prophètes de Samarie j’ai vu de l’extravagance; Ils ont prophétisé par Baal, Ils ont égaré mon peuple d’Israël.

14 Mais dans les prophètes de Jérusalem j’ai vu des choses horribles; Ils sont adultères, ils marchent dans le mensonge; Ils fortifient les mains des méchants, Afin qu’aucun ne revienne de sa méchanceté; Ils sont tous à mes yeux comme Sodome, Et les habitants de Jérusalem comme Gomorrhe.
