Jeremiah 31:9 in Context — Jeremiah 31
7 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel: Poussez des cris de joie sur Jacob, Éclatez d’allégresse à la tête des nations! Élevez vos voix, chantez des louanges, et dites: Éternel, délivre ton peuple, le reste d’Israël!
8 Voici, je les ramène du pays du septentrion, Je les rassemble des extrémités de la terre; Parmi eux sont l’aveugle et le boiteux, La femme enceinte et celle en travail; C’est une grande multitude, qui revient ici.
9 Ils viennent en pleurant, et je les conduis au milieu de leurs supplications; Je les mène vers des torrents d’eau, Par un chemin uni où ils ne chancellent pas; Car je suis un père pour Israël, Et Éphraïm est mon premier-né.
10 Nations, écoutez la parole de l’Éternel, Et publiez-la dans les îles lointaines! Dites: Celui qui a dispersé Israël le rassemblera, Et il le gardera comme le berger garde son troupeau.
11 Car l’Éternel rachète Jacob, Il le délivre de la main d’un plus fort que lui.
