Jeremiah 49:17 in Context — Jeremiah 49

15 Car voici, je te rendrai petit parmi les nations, Méprisé parmi les hommes.

16 Ta présomption, l’orgueil de ton cœur t’a égaré, Toi qui habites le creux des rochers, Et qui occupes le sommet des collines. Quand tu placerais ton nid aussi haut que celui de l’aigle, Je t’en précipiterai, dit l’Éternel.

17 Édom sera un objet de désolation; Tous ceux qui passeront près de lui Seront dans l’étonnement et siffleront sur toutes ses plaies.

18 Comme Sodome et Gomorrhe et les villes voisines, qui furent détruites, Dit l’Éternel, Il ne sera plus habité, Il ne sera le séjour d’aucun homme…

19 Voici, tel qu’un lion, il monte des rives orgueilleuses du Jourdain Contre la demeure forte; Soudain j’en ferai fuir Édom, Et j’établirai sur elle celui que j’ai choisi. Car qui est semblable à moi? qui me donnera des ordres? Et quel est le chef qui me résistera?
