Jeremiah 40:14 in Context — Jeremiah 40
12 Et tous les Juifs revinrent de tous les lieux où ils étaient dispersés, ils se rendirent dans le pays de Juda vers Guedalia à Mitspa, et ils firent une abondante récolte de vin et de fruits d’été.
13 Jochanan, fils de Karéach, et tous les chefs des troupes qui étaient dans les campagnes, vinrent auprès de Guedalia à Mitspa,
14 et lui dirent: Sais-tu que Baalis, roi des Ammonites, a chargé Ismaël, fils de Nethania, de t’ôter la vie? Mais Guedalia, fils d’Achikam, ne les crut point.
15 Et Jochanan, fils de Karéach, dit secrètement à Guedalia à Mitspa: Permets que j’aille tuer Ismaël, fils de Nethania. Personne ne le saura. Pourquoi t’ôterait-il la vie? Pourquoi tous ceux de Juda rassemblés auprès de toi se disperseraient-ils, et le reste de Juda périrait-il?
16 Guedalia, fils d’Achikam, répondit à Jochanan, fils de Karéach: Ne fais pas cela; car ce que tu dis sur Ismaël est faux.
