Jeremiah 3:16 in Context — Jeremiah 3

14 Revenez, enfants rebelles, dit l’Éternel; Car je suis votre maître. Je vous prendrai, un d’une ville, deux d’une famille, Et je vous ramènerai dans Sion.

15 Je vous donnerai des bergers selon mon cœur, Et ils vous paîtront avec intelligence et avec sagesse.

16 Lorsque vous aurez multiplié et fructifié dans le pays, En ces jours-là, dit l’Éternel, On ne parlera plus de l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel; Elle ne viendra plus à la pensée; On ne se la rappellera plus, on ne s’apercevra plus de son absence, Et l’on n’en fera point une autre.

17 En ce temps-là, on appellera Jérusalem le trône de l’Éternel; Toutes les nations s’assembleront à Jérusalem, au nom de l’Éternel, Et elles ne suivront plus les penchants de leur mauvais cœur.

18 En ces jours, La maison de Juda marchera avec la maison d’Israël; Elles viendront ensemble du pays du septentrion Au pays dont j’ai donné la possession à vos pères.
