Jeremiah 48:10 in Context — Jeremiah 48

8 Le dévastateur entrera dans chaque ville, Et aucune ville n’échappera; La vallée périra et la plaine sera détruite, Comme l’Éternel l’a dit.

9 Donnez des ailes à Moab, Et qu’il parte au vol! Ses villes seront réduites en désert, Elles n’auront plus d’habitants.

10 Maudit soit celui qui fait avec négligence l’œuvre de l’Éternel, Maudit soit celui qui éloigne son épée du carnage!

11 Moab était tranquille depuis sa jeunesse, Il reposait sur sa lie, Il n’était pas vidé d’un vase dans un autre, Et il n’allait pas en captivité. Aussi son goût lui est resté, Et son odeur ne s’est pas changée.

12 C’est pourquoi voici, les jours viennent, dit l’Éternel, Où je lui enverrai des gens qui le transvaseront; Ils videront ses vases, Et feront sauter ses outres.
