Jeremiah 46:16 in Context — Jeremiah 46

14 Annoncez-le en Égypte, Publiez-le à Migdol, Publiez-le à Noph et à Tachpanès! Dites: Lève-toi, prépare-toi, Car l’épée dévore autour de toi!

15 Pourquoi tes vaillants hommes sont-ils emportés? Ils ne tiennent pas ferme, car l’Éternel les renverse.

16 Il en fait chanceler un grand nombre; Ils tombent l’un sur l’autre, et ils disent: Allons, retournons vers notre peuple, Dans notre pays natal, Loin du glaive destructeur!

17 Là, on s’écrie: Pharaon, roi d’Égypte, Ce n’est qu’un bruit; il a laissé passer le moment.

18 Je suis vivant! Dit le roi, Dont l’Éternel des armées est le nom, Comme le Thabor parmi les montagnes, Comme le Carmel qui s’avance dans la mer, il viendra.
