Jeremiah 27:12 in Context — Jeremiah 27
10 Car c’est le mensonge qu’ils vous prophétisent, afin que vous soyez éloignés de votre pays, afin que je vous chasse et que vous périssiez.
11 Mais la nation qui pliera son cou sous le joug du roi de Babylone, et qui lui sera soumise, je la laisserai dans son pays, dit l’Éternel, pour qu’elle le cultive et qu’elle y demeure.
12 J’ai dit entièrement les mêmes choses à Sédécias, roi de Juda: Pliez votre cou sous le joug du roi de Babylone, soumettez-vous à lui et à son peuple, et vous vivrez.
13 Pourquoi mourriez-vous, toi et ton peuple, par l’épée, par la famine et par la peste, comme l’Éternel l’a prononcé sur la nation qui ne se soumettra pas au roi de Babylone?
14 N’écoutez pas les paroles des prophètes qui vous disent: Vous ne serez point asservis au roi de Babylone! Car c’est le mensonge qu’ils vous prophétisent.
