Jeremiah 3:9 in Context — Jeremiah 3
7 Je disais: Après avoir fait toutes ces choses, elle reviendra à moi. Mais elle n’est pas revenue. Et sa sœur, la perfide Juda, en a été témoin.
8 Quoique j’eusse répudié l’infidèle Israël à cause de tous ses adultères, et que je lui eusse donné sa lettre de divorce, j’ai vu que la perfide Juda, sa sœur, n’a point eu de crainte, et qu’elle est allée se prostituer pareillement.
9 Par sa criante impudicité Israël a souillé le pays, elle a commis un adultère avec la pierre et le bois.
10 Malgré tout cela, la perfide Juda, sa sœur, n’est pas revenue à moi de tout son cœur; c’est avec fausseté qu’elle l’a fait, dit l’Éternel.
11 L’Éternel me dit: L’infidèle Israël paraît innocente En comparaison de la perfide Juda.
