Jeremiah 49:2 in Context — Jeremiah 49

1 Sur les enfants d’Ammon. Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Israël n’a-t-il point de fils? N’a-t-il point d’héritier? Pourquoi Malcom possède-t-il Gad, Et son peuple habite-t-il ses villes?

2 C’est pourquoi voici, les jours viennent, dit l’Éternel, Où je ferai retentir le cri de guerre contre Rabbath des enfants d’Ammon; Elle deviendra un monceau de ruines, Et les villes de son ressort seront consumées par le feu; Alors Israël chassera ceux qui l’avaient chassé, dit l’Éternel.

3 Pousse des gémissements, Hesbon, car Aï est ravagée! Poussez des cris, filles de Rabba, revêtez-vous de sacs, Lamentez-vous, et courez çà et là le long des murailles! Car Malcom s’en va en captivité, Avec ses prêtres et avec ses chefs.

4 Pourquoi te glorifies-tu de tes vallées? Ta vallée se fond, fille rebelle, Qui te confiais dans tes trésors: Qui viendra contre moi?
