Jeremiah 23:31 in Context — Jeremiah 23
29 Ma parole n’est-elle pas comme un feu, dit l’Éternel, Et comme un marteau qui brise le roc?
30 C’est pourquoi voici, dit l’Éternel, j’en veux aux prophètes Qui se dérobent mes paroles l’un à l’autre.
31 Voici, dit l’Éternel, j’en veux aux prophètes Qui prennent leur propre parole et la donnent pour ma parole.
32 Voici, dit l’Éternel, j’en veux à ceux qui prophétisent des songes faux, Qui les racontent, et qui égarent mon peuple Par leurs mensonges et par leur témérité; Je ne les ai point envoyés, je ne leur ai point donné d’ordre, Et ils ne sont d’aucune utilité à ce peuple, dit l’Éternel.
33 Si ce peuple, ou un prophète, ou un sacrificateur te demande: Quelle est la menace de l’Éternel? Tu leur diras quelle est cette menace: Je vous rejetterai, dit l’Éternel.
