Jeremiah 50:12 in Context — Jeremiah 50

10 Et la Chaldée sera livrée au pillage; Tous ceux qui la pilleront seront rassasiés, dit l’Éternel.

11 Oui, soyez dans la joie, dans l’allégresse, Vous qui avez pillé mon héritage! Oui, bondissez comme une génisse dans l’herbe, Hennissez comme des chevaux fougueux!

12 Votre mère est couverte de confusion, Celle qui vous a enfantés rougit de honte; Voici, elle est la dernière des nations, C’est un désert, une terre sèche et aride.

13 A cause de la colère de l’Éternel, elle ne sera plus habitée, Elle ne sera plus qu’une solitude. Tous ceux qui passeront près de Babylone Seront dans l’étonnement et siffleront sur toutes ses plaies.

14 Rangez-vous en bataille autour de Babylone, vous tous, archers! Tirez contre elle, n’épargnez pas les flèches! Car elle a péché contre l’Éternel.
