Jeremiah 4:20 in Context — Jeremiah 4
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.
20 On annonce ruine sur ruine, Car tout le pays est ravagé; Mes tentes sont ravagées tout à coup, Mes pavillons en un instant.
21 Jusques à quand verrai-je la bannière, Et entendrai-je le son de la trompette?
22 Certainement mon peuple est fou, il ne me connaît pas; Ce sont des enfants insensés, dépourvus d’intelligence; Ils sont habiles pour faire le mal, Mais ils ne savent pas faire le bien.
