Jeremiah 23:15 in Context — Jeremiah 23
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.
15 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées sur les prophètes: Voici, je vais les nourrir d’absinthe, Et je leur ferai boire des eaux empoisonnées; Car c’est par les prophètes de Jérusalem Que l’impiété s’est répandue dans tout le pays.
16 Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: N’écoutez pas les paroles des prophètes qui vous prophétisent! Ils vous entraînent à des choses de néant; Ils disent les visions de leur cœur, Et non ce qui vient de la bouche de l’Éternel.
17 Ils disent à ceux qui me méprisent: L’Éternel a dit: Vous aurez la paix; Et ils disent à tous ceux qui suivent les penchants de leur cœur: Il ne vous arrivera aucun mal.
