Jeremiah 48:18 in Context — Jeremiah 48

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.

19 Tiens-toi sur le chemin, et regarde, habitante d’Aroër! Interroge le fuyard, le réchappé, Demande: Qu’est-il arrivé?

20 Moab est confus, car il est brisé. Poussez des gémissements et des cris! Publiez sur l’Arnon Que Moab est ravagé!
