Jeremiah 32:3 in Context — Jeremiah 32

1 La parole qui fut adressée à Jérémie de la part de l’Éternel, la dixième année de Sédécias, roi de Juda. C’était la dix-huitième année de Nebucadnetsar.

2 L’armée du roi de Babylone assiégeait alors Jérusalem; et Jérémie, le prophète, était enfermé dans la cour de la prison qui était dans la maison du roi de Juda.

3 Sédécias, roi de Juda, l’avait fait enfermer, et lui avait dit: Pourquoi prophétises-tu, en disant: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, je livre cette ville entre les mains du roi de Babylone, et il la prendra;

4 Sédécias, roi de Juda, n’échappera pas aux Chaldéens, mais il sera livré entre les mains du roi de Babylone, il lui parlera bouche à bouche, et ses yeux verront ses yeux;

5 le roi de Babylone emmènera Sédécias à Babylone, où il restera jusqu’à ce que je me souvienne de lui, dit l’Éternel; si vous vous battez contre les Chaldéens, vous n’aurez point de succès.
