Jeremiah 50:24 in Context — Jeremiah 50

22 Des cris de guerre retentissent dans le pays, Et le désastre est grand.

23 Eh quoi! Il est rompu, brisé, le marteau de toute la terre! Babylone est détruite au milieu des nations!

24 Je t’ai tendu un piège, et tu as été prise, Babylone, A l’improviste; Tu as été atteinte, saisie, Parce que tu as lutté contre l’Éternel.

25 L’Éternel a ouvert son arsenal, Et il en a tiré les armes de sa colère; Car c’est là une œuvre du Seigneur, de l’Éternel des armées, Dans le pays des Chaldéens.

26 Pénétrez de toutes parts dans Babylone, ouvrez ses greniers, Faites-y des monceaux comme des tas de gerbes, Et détruisez-la! Qu’il ne reste plus rien d’elle!
