Jeremiah 5:21 in Context — Jeremiah 5

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.

22 Ne me craindrez-vous pas, dit l’Éternel, Ne tremblerez-vous pas devant moi? C’est moi qui ai donné à la mer le sable pour limite, Limite éternelle qu’elle ne doit pas franchir; Ses flots s’agitent, mais ils sont impuissants; Ils mugissent, mais ils ne la franchissent pas.

23 Ce peuple a un cœur indocile et rebelle; Ils se révoltent, et s’en vont.
