Jeremiah 5:19 in Context — Jeremiah 5
17 Elle dévorera ta moisson et ton pain, Elle dévorera tes fils et tes filles, Elle dévorera tes brebis et tes bœufs, Elle dévorera ta vigne et ton figuier; Elle détruira par l’épée tes villes fortes dans lesquelles tu te confies.
18 Mais en ces jours, dit l’Éternel, Je ne vous détruirai pas entièrement.
19 Si vous dites alors: Pourquoi l’Éternel, notre Dieu, nous fait-il tout cela? Tu leur répondras: Comme vous m’avez abandonné, Et que vous avez servi des dieux étrangers dans votre pays, Ainsi vous servirez des étrangers dans un pays qui n’est pas le vôtre.
20 Annoncez ceci à la maison de Jacob, Publiez-le en Juda, et dites:
21 Écoutez ceci, peuple insensé, et qui n’as point de cœur! Ils ont des yeux et ne voient point, Ils ont des oreilles et n’entendent point.
