Jeremiah 4:7 in Context — Jeremiah 4
5 Annoncez en Juda, publiez à Jérusalem, Et dites: Sonnez de la trompette dans le pays! Criez à pleine voix, et dites: Rassemblez-vous, et allons dans les villes fortes!
6 Élevez une bannière vers Sion, Fuyez, ne vous arrêtez pas! Car je fais venir du septentrion le malheur Et un grand désastre.
7 Le lion s’élance de son taillis, Le destructeur des nations est en marche, il a quitté son lieu, Pour ravager ton pays; Tes villes seront ruinées, il n’y aura plus d’habitants.
8 C’est pourquoi couvrez-vous de sacs, pleurez et gémissez; Car la colère ardente de l’Éternel ne se détourne pas de nous.
9 En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel, Le roi et les chefs perdront courage, Les sacrificateurs seront étonnés, Et les prophètes stupéfaits.
