Jeremiah 42:20 in Context — Jeremiah 42
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.
20 Vous vous trompez vous-mêmes, car vous m’avez envoyé vers l’Éternel, votre Dieu, en disant: Intercède en notre faveur auprès de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, fais-nous connaître tout ce que l’Éternel, notre Dieu, dira, et nous le ferons.
21 Je vous l’ai déclaré aujourd’hui; mais vous n’écoutez pas la voix de l’Éternel, votre Dieu, ni tout ce qu’il m’a chargé de vous dire.
22 Sachez maintenant que vous mourrez par l’épée, par la famine ou par la peste, dans le lieu où vous voulez aller pour y demeurer.
