Jeremiah 37:17 in Context — Jeremiah 37

15 Les chefs, irrités contre Jérémie, le frappèrent, et le mirent en prison dans la maison de Jonathan, le secrétaire; car ils en avaient fait une prison.

16 Ce fut ainsi que Jérémie entra dans la prison et dans les cachots, où il resta longtemps.

17 Le roi Sédécias l’envoya chercher, et l’interrogea secrètement dans sa maison. Il dit: Y a-t-il une parole de la part de l’Éternel? Jérémie répondit: Oui. Et il ajouta: Tu seras livré entre les mains du roi de Babylone.

18 Jérémie dit encore au roi Sédécias: En quoi ai-je péché contre toi, contre tes serviteurs, et contre ce peuple, pour que vous m’ayez mis en prison?

19 Et où sont vos prophètes qui vous prophétisaient, en disant: Le roi de Babylone ne viendra pas contre vous, ni contre ce pays?
