Jeremiah 23:17 in Context — Jeremiah 23
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.
18 Qui donc a assisté au conseil de l’Éternel Pour voir, pour écouter sa parole? Qui a prêté l’oreille à sa parole, qui l’a entendue?
19 Voici, la tempête de l’Éternel, la fureur éclate, L’orage se précipite, Il fond sur la tête des méchants.
