Jeremiah 50:16 in Context — Jeremiah 50
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.
15 Poussez de tous côtés contre elle un cri de guerre! Elle tend les mains; Ses fondements s’écroulent; Ses murs sont renversés. Car c’est la vengeance de l’Éternel. Vengez-vous sur elle! Faites-lui comme elle a fait!
16 Exterminez de Babylone celui qui sème, Et celui qui manie la faucille au temps de la moisson! Devant le glaive destructeur, Que chacun se tourne vers son peuple, Que chacun fuie vers son pays.
17 Israël est une brebis égarée, que les lions ont chassée; Le roi d’Assyrie l’a dévorée le premier; Et ce dernier lui a brisé les os, Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone.
18 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Voici, je châtierai le roi de Babylone et son pays, Comme j’ai châtié le roi d’Assyrie.
