Jeremiah 3:1 in Context — Jeremiah 3
1 Il dit: Lorsqu’un homme répudie sa femme, Qu’elle le quitte et devient la femme d’un autre, Cet homme retourne-t-il encore vers elle? Le pays même ne serait-il pas souillé? Et toi, tu t’es prostituée à de nombreux amants, Et tu reviendrais à moi! Dit l’Éternel.
2 Lève tes yeux vers les hauteurs, et regarde! Où ne t’es-tu pas prostituée! Tu te tenais sur les chemins, comme l’Arabe dans le désert, Et tu as souillé le pays par tes prostitutions et par ta méchanceté.
3 Aussi les pluies ont-elles été retenues, Et la pluie du printemps a-t-elle manqué; Mais tu as eu le front d’une femme prostituée, Tu n’as pas voulu avoir honte.
