Jeremiah 23:34 in Context — Jeremiah 23

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.

35 Vous direz, chacun à son prochain, chacun à son frère: Qu’a répondu l’Éternel? Qu’a dit l’Éternel?

36 Mais vous ne direz plus: Menace de l’Éternel! Car la parole de chacun sera pour lui une menace; Vous tordez les paroles du Dieu vivant, De l’Éternel des armées, notre Dieu.
