Jeremiah 46:6 in Context — Jeremiah 46

4 Attelez les chevaux, Montez, cavaliers! Paraissez avec vos casques, Polissez vos lances, Revêtez la cuirasse!…

5 Que vois-je? Ils ont peur, ils reculent; Leurs vaillants hommes sont battus; Ils fuient sans se retourner… L’épouvante est de toutes parts, dit l’Éternel.

6 Que le plus léger ne trouve aucun salut dans la fuite, Que le plus vaillant n’échappe pas! Au septentrion, sur les rives de l’Euphrate, Ils chancellent, ils tombent.

7 Qui est celui qui s’avance comme le Nil, Et dont les eaux sont agitées comme les torrents?

8 C’est l’Égypte. Elle s’avance comme le Nil, Et ses eaux sont agitées comme les torrents. Elle dit: Je monterai, je couvrirai la terre, Je détruirai les villes et leurs habitants.
