Jeremiah 4:14 in Context — Jeremiah 4

12 C’est un vent impétueux qui vient de là jusqu’à moi. Maintenant, je prononcerai leur sentence.

13 Voici, le destructeur s’avance comme les nuées; Ses chars sont comme un tourbillon, Ses chevaux sont plus légers que les aigles. Malheur à nous, car nous sommes détruits!

14 Purifie ton cœur du mal, Jérusalem, Afin que tu sois sauvée! Jusques à quand garderas-tu dans ton cœur tes pensées iniques?

15 Car une voix qui part de Dan annonce la calamité, Elle la publie depuis la montagne d’Éphraïm.

16 Dites-le aux nations, faites-le connaître à Jérusalem: Des assiégeants viennent d’une terre lointaine; Ils poussent des cris contre les villes de Juda.
