Jeremiah 4:17 in Context — Jeremiah 4

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.

17 Comme ceux qui gardent un champ, ils entourent Jérusalem, Car elle s’est révoltée contre moi, dit l’Éternel.

18 C’est là le produit de tes voies et de tes actions, C’est là le produit de ta méchanceté; Certes cela est amer, cela pénètre jusqu’à ton cœur.

19 Mes entrailles! Mes entrailles: je souffre au-dedans de mon cœur, Le cœur me bat, je ne puis me taire; Car tu entends, mon âme, le son de la trompette, Le cri de guerre.
