Jeremiah 42:6 in Context — Jeremiah 42

4 Jérémie, le prophète, leur dit: J’entends; voici je vais prier l’Éternel, votre Dieu, selon votre demande; et je vous ferai connaître, sans rien vous cacher, tout ce que l’Éternel vous répondra.

5 Et ils dirent à Jérémie: Que l’Éternel soit contre nous un témoin véritable et fidèle, si nous ne faisons pas tout ce que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te chargera de nous dire!

6 Que ce soit du bien ou du mal, nous obéirons à la voix de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, vers qui nous t’envoyons, afin que nous soyons heureux, si nous obéissons à la voix de l’Éternel, notre Dieu.

7 Dix jours après, la parole de l’Éternel fut adressée à Jérémie.

8 Et Jérémie appela Jochanan, fils de Karéach, tous les chefs des troupes qui étaient avec lui, et tout le peuple, depuis le plus petit jusqu’au plus grand.
