Jeremiah 48:9 in Context — Jeremiah 48
7 Car, parce que tu t’es confié dans tes œuvres et dans tes trésors, Toi aussi, tu seras pris, Et Kemosch s’en ira en captivité, Avec ses prêtres et avec ses chefs.
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.
