Jeremiah 5:22 in Context — Jeremiah 5
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.
24 Ils ne disent pas dans leur cœur: Craignons l’Éternel, notre Dieu, Qui donne la pluie en son temps, La pluie de la première et de l’arrière saison, Et qui nous réserve les semaines destinées à la moisson.
