Jeremiah 27:15 in Context — Jeremiah 27
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.
15 Je ne les ai point envoyés, dit l’Éternel, et ils prophétisent le mensonge en mon nom, afin que je vous chasse et que vous périssiez, vous et les prophètes qui vous prophétisent.
16 J’ai dit aux sacrificateurs et à tout ce peuple: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: N’écoutez pas les paroles de vos prophètes qui vous prophétisent, disant: Voici, les ustensiles de la maison de l’Éternel seront bientôt rapportés de Babylone! Car c’est le mensonge qu’ils vous prophétisent.
17 Ne les écoutez pas, soumettez-vous au roi de Babylone, et vous vivrez. Pourquoi cette ville deviendrait-elle une ruine?
