Jeremiah 23:38 in Context — Jeremiah 23

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.

37 Tu diras au prophète: Que t’a répondu l’Éternel? Qu’a dit l’Éternel?

38 Et si vous dites encore: Menace de l’Éternel! Alors ainsi parle l’Éternel: Parce que vous dites ce mot: Menace de l’Éternel! Quoique j’aie envoyé vers vous pour dire: Vous ne direz pas: Menace de l’Éternel!

39 A cause de cela voici, je vous oublierai, Et je vous rejetterai, vous et la ville Que j’avais donnée à vous et à vos pères, Je vous rejetterai loin de ma face;

40 Je mettrai sur vous un opprobre éternel Et une honte éternelle, Qui ne s’oublieront pas.
