Jeremiah 5:14 in Context — Jeremiah 5
12 Ils renient l’Éternel, ils disent: Il n’existe pas! Et le malheur ne viendra pas sur nous, Nous ne verrons ni l’épée ni la famine.
13 Les prophètes ne sont que du vent, Et personne ne parle en eux. Qu’il leur soit fait ainsi!
14 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées: Parce que vous avez dit cela, Voici, je veux que ma parole dans ta bouche soit du feu, Et ce peuple du bois, et que ce feu les consume.
15 Voici, je fais venir de loin une nation contre vous, maison d’Israël, Dit l’Éternel; C’est une nation forte, c’est une nation ancienne, Une nation dont tu ne connais pas la langue, Et dont tu ne comprendras point les paroles.
16 Son carquois est comme un sépulcre ouvert; Ils sont tous des héros.
