Jeremiah 38:20 in Context — Jeremiah 38
18 Mais si tu ne te rends pas aux chefs du roi de Babylone, cette ville sera livrée entre les mains des Chaldéens, qui la brûleront par le feu; et toi, tu n’échapperas pas à leurs mains.
19 Le roi Sédécias dit à Jérémie: Je crains les Juifs qui ont passé aux Chaldéens; je crains qu’on ne me livre entre leurs mains, et qu’ils ne m’outragent.
20 Jérémie répondit: On ne te livrera pas. Écoute la voix de l’Éternel dans ce que je te dis; tu t’en trouveras bien, et tu auras la vie sauve.
21 Mais si tu refuses de sortir, voici ce que l’Éternel m’a révélé:
22 Toutes les femmes qui restent dans la maison du roi de Juda seront menées aux chefs du roi de Babylone, et elles diront: Tu as été trompé, dominé, par ceux qui t’annonçaient la paix; et quand tes pieds sont enfoncés dans la boue, ils se retirent.
