Jeremiah 26:18 in Context — Jeremiah 26

16 Les chefs et tout le peuple dirent aux sacrificateurs et aux prophètes: Cet homme ne mérite point la mort; car c’est au nom de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, qu’il nous a parlé.

17 Et quelques-uns des anciens du pays se levèrent, et dirent à toute l’assemblée du peuple:

18 Michée, de Moréscheth, prophétisait du temps d’Ézéchias, roi de Juda, et il disait à tout le peuple de Juda: Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Sion sera labourée comme un champ, Jérusalem deviendra un monceau de pierres, Et la montagne de la maison une haute forêt.

19 Ézéchias, roi de Juda, et tout Juda l’ont-ils fait mourir? Ézéchias ne craignit-il pas l’Éternel? N’implora-t-il pas l’Éternel? Alors l’Éternel se repentit du mal qu’il avait prononcé contre eux. Et nous, nous chargerions notre âme d’un si grand crime!

20 Il y eut aussi un homme qui prophétisait au nom de l’Éternel, Urie, fils de Schemaeja, de Kirjath-Jearim. Il prophétisa contre cette ville et contre ce pays entièrement les mêmes choses que Jérémie.
