Jeremiah 42:17 in Context — Jeremiah 42

15 alors écoutez la parole de l’Éternel, restes de Juda! Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Si vous tournez le visage pour aller en Égypte, si vous y allez demeurer,

16 l’épée que vous redoutez vous atteindra là au pays d’Égypte, la famine que vous craignez s’attachera à vous là en Égypte, et vous y mourrez.

17 Tous ceux qui tourneront le visage pour aller en Égypte, afin d’y demeurer, mourront par l’épée, par la famine ou par la peste, et nul n’échappera, ne fuira, devant les malheurs que je ferai venir sur eux.

18 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: De même que ma colère et ma fureur se sont répandues sur les habitants de Jérusalem, de même ma fureur se répandra sur vous, si vous allez en Égypte; vous serez un sujet d’exécration, d’épouvante, de malédiction et d’opprobre, et vous ne verrez plus ce lieu.

19 Restes de Juda, l’Éternel vous dit: N’allez pas en Égypte! Sachez que je vous le défends aujourd’hui.
