Jeremiah 36:29 in Context — Jeremiah 36

27 La parole de l’Éternel fut adressée à Jérémie, en ces mots, après que le roi eut brûlé le livre contenant les paroles que Baruc avait écrites sous la dictée de Jérémie:

28 Prends de nouveau un autre livre, et tu y écriras toutes les paroles qui étaient dans le premier livre qu’a brûlé Jojakim, roi de Juda.

29 Et sur Jojakim, roi de Juda, tu diras: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Tu as brûlé ce livre, en disant: Pourquoi y as-tu écrit ces paroles: Le roi de Babylone viendra, il détruira ce pays, et il en fera disparaître les hommes et les bêtes?

30 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel sur Jojakim, roi de Juda: Aucun des siens ne sera assis sur le trône de David, et son cadavre sera exposé à la chaleur pendant le jour et au froid pendant la nuit.

31 Je le châtierai, lui, sa postérité, et ses serviteurs, à cause de leur iniquité, et je ferai venir sur eux, sur les habitants de Jérusalem et sur les hommes de Juda tous les malheurs dont je les ai menacés, sans qu’ils aient voulu m’écouter.
