Jeremiah 23:32 in Context — Jeremiah 23
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.
34 Et le prophète, le sacrificateur, ou celui du peuple Qui dira: Menace de l’Éternel, Je le châtierai, lui et sa maison.
