Jeremiah 31:18 in Context — Jeremiah 31
16 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Retiens tes pleurs, Retiens les larmes de tes yeux; Car il y aura un salaire pour tes œuvres, dit l’Éternel; Ils reviendront du pays de l’ennemi.
17 Il y a de l’espérance pour ton avenir, dit l’Éternel; Tes enfants reviendront dans leur territoire.
18 J’entends Éphraïm qui se lamente: Tu m’as châtié, et j’ai été châtié Comme un veau qui n’est pas dompté; Fais-moi revenir, et je reviendrai, Car tu es l’Éternel, mon Dieu.
19 Après m’être détourné, j’éprouve du repentir; Et après avoir reconnu mes fautes, je frappe sur ma cuisse; Je suis honteux et confus, Car je porte l’opprobre de ma jeunesse.
20 Éphraïm est-il donc pour moi un fils chéri, Un enfant qui fait mes délices? Car plus je parle de lui, plus encore son souvenir est en moi; Aussi mes entrailles sont émues en sa faveur: J’aurai pitié de lui, dit l’Éternel.
