Jeremiah 5:29 in Context — Jeremiah 5
27 Comme une cage est remplie d’oiseaux, Leurs maisons sont remplies de fraude; C’est ainsi qu’ils deviennent puissants et riches.
28 Ils s’engraissent, ils sont brillants d’embonpoint; Ils dépassent toute mesure dans le mal, Ils ne défendent pas la cause, la cause de l’orphelin, et ils prospèrent; Ils ne font pas droit aux indigents.
29 Ne châtierais-je pas ces choses-là, dit l’Éternel, Ne me vengerais-je pas d’une pareille nation?
30 Des choses horribles, abominables, Se font dans le pays.
