Jeremiah 48:16 in Context — Jeremiah 48

14 Comment pouvez-vous dire: Nous sommes de vaillants hommes, Des soldats prêts à combattre?

15 Moab est ravagé, ses villes montent en fumée, L’élite de sa jeunesse est égorgée, Dit le roi, dont l’Éternel des armées est le nom.

16 La ruine de Moab est près d’arriver, Son malheur vient en grande hâte.

17 Lamentez-vous sur lui, vous tous qui l’environnez, Vous tous qui connaissez son nom! Dites: Comment ce sceptre puissant a-t-il été brisé, Ce bâton majestueux?

18 Descends du séjour de la gloire, assieds-toi sur la terre desséchée, Habitante, fille de Dibon! Car le dévastateur de Moab monte contre toi, Il détruit tes forteresses.
