Jeremiah 5:9 in Context — Jeremiah 5
7 Pourquoi te pardonnerais-je? Tes enfants m’ont abandonné, Et ils jurent par des dieux qui n’existent pas. J’ai reçu leurs serments, et ils se livrent à l’adultère, Ils sont en foule dans la maison de la prostituée.
8 Semblables à des chevaux bien nourris, qui courent çà et là, Ils hennissent chacun après la femme de son prochain.
9 Ne châtierais-je pas ces choses-là, dit l’Éternel, Ne me vengerais-je pas d’une pareille nation?
10 Montez sur ses murailles, et abattez, Mais ne détruisez pas entièrement! Enlevez ses ceps Qui n’appartiennent point à l’Éternel!
11 Car la maison d’Israël et la maison de Juda m’ont été infidèles, Dit l’Éternel.
