Jeremiah 4:8 in Context — Jeremiah 4

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.

10 Je dis: Ah! Seigneur Éternel! Tu as donc trompé ce peuple et Jérusalem, en disant: Vous aurez la paix! Et cependant l’épée menace leur vie.
