Jeremiah 40:8 in Context — Jeremiah 40

6 Jérémie alla vers Guedalia, fils d’Achikam, à Mitspa, et il resta avec lui parmi le peuple qui était demeuré dans le pays.

7 Lorsque tous les chefs des troupes qui étaient dans les campagnes eurent appris, eux et leurs hommes, que le roi de Babylone avait établi gouverneur du pays Guedalia, fils d’Achikam, et qu’il lui avait confié les hommes, les femmes, les enfants, et ceux des pauvres du pays qu’on n’avait pas emmenés captifs à Babylone,

8 ils se rendirent auprès de Guedalia à Mitspa, savoir Ismaël, fils de Nethania, Jochanan et Jonathan, fils de Karéach, Seraja, fils de Thanhumeth, les fils d’Éphaï de Nethopha, et Jezania, fils du Maacatite, eux et leurs hommes.

9 Guedalia, fils d’Achikam, fils de Schaphan, leur jura, à eux et à leurs hommes, en disant: Ne craignez pas de servir les Chaldéens; demeurez dans le pays, servez le roi de Babylone, et vous vous en trouverez bien.

10 Voici, je reste à Mitspa, pour être présent devant les Chaldéens qui viendront vers nous; et vous, faites la récolte du vin, des fruits d’été et de l’huile, mettez-les dans vos vases, et demeurez dans vos villes que vous occupez.
