Jeremiah 5:2 in Context — Jeremiah 5

1 Parcourez les rues de Jérusalem, Regardez, informez-vous, cherchez dans les places, S’il s’y trouve un homme, s’il y en a un Qui pratique la justice, qui s’attache à la vérité, Et je pardonne à Jérusalem.

2 Même quand ils disent: L’Éternel est vivant! C’est faussement qu’ils jurent.

3 Éternel, tes yeux n’aperçoivent-ils pas la vérité? Tu les frappes, et ils ne sentent rien; Tu les consumes, et ils ne veulent pas recevoir instruction; Ils prennent un visage plus dur que le roc, Ils refusent de se convertir.

4 Je disais: Ce ne sont que les petits; Ils agissent en insensés, parce qu’ils ne connaissent pas la voie de l’Éternel, La loi de leur Dieu.
