Jeremiah 3:20 in Context — Jeremiah 3
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.
19 Je disais: Comment te mettrai-je parmi mes enfants, Et te donnerai-je un pays de délices, Un héritage, le plus bel ornement des nations? Je disais: Tu m’appelleras: Mon père! Et tu ne te détourneras pas de moi.
20 Mais, comme une femme est infidèle à son amant, Ainsi vous m’avez été infidèles, maison d’Israël, Dit l’Éternel.
21 Une voix se fait entendre sur les lieux élevés; Ce sont les pleurs, les supplications des enfants d’Israël; Car ils ont perverti leur voie, Ils ont oublié l’Éternel, leur Dieu.
22 Revenez, enfants rebelles, Je pardonnerai vos infidélités. Nous voici, nous allons à toi, Car tu es l’Éternel, notre Dieu.
