Jeremiah 4:22 in Context — Jeremiah 4
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.
23 Je regarde la terre, et voici, elle est informe et vide; Les cieux, et leur lumière a disparu.
24 Je regarde les montagnes, et voici, elles sont ébranlées; Et toutes les collines chancellent.
