Jeremiah 34:17 in Context — Jeremiah 34

15 Vous, vous aviez fait aujourd’hui un retour sur vous-mêmes, vous aviez fait ce qui est droit à mes yeux, en publiant la liberté chacun pour son prochain, vous aviez fait un pacte devant moi, dans la maison sur laquelle mon nom est invoqué.

16 Mais vous êtes revenus en arrière, et vous avez profané mon nom; vous avez repris chacun les esclaves et les servantes que vous aviez affranchis, rendus à eux-mêmes, et vous les avez forcés à redevenir vos esclaves et vos servantes.

17 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel: Vous ne m’avez point obéi, en publiant la liberté chacun pour son frère, chacun pour son prochain. Voici, je publie contre vous, dit l’Éternel, la liberté de l’épée, de la peste et de la famine, et je vous rendrai un objet d’effroi pour tous les royaumes de la terre.

18 Je livrerai les hommes qui ont violé mon alliance, qui n’ont pas observé les conditions du pacte qu’ils avaient fait devant moi, en coupant un veau en deux et en passant entre ses morceaux;

19 je livrerai les chefs de Juda et les chefs de Jérusalem, les eunuques, les sacrificateurs, et tout le peuple du pays, qui ont passé entre les morceaux du veau;
