Jeremiah 50:42 in Context — Jeremiah 50
40 Comme Sodome et Gomorrhe, et les villes voisines, que Dieu détruisit, Dit l’Éternel, Elle ne sera plus habitée, Elle ne sera le séjour d’aucun homme.
41 Voici, un peuple vient du septentrion, Une grande nation et des rois puissants Se lèvent des extrémités de la terre.
42 Ils portent l’arc et le javelot; Ils sont cruels, sans miséricorde; Leur voix mugit comme la mer; Ils sont montés sur des chevaux, Prêts à combattre comme un seul homme, Contre toi, fille de Babylone!
43 Le roi de Babylone apprend la nouvelle, Et ses mains s’affaiblissent, L’angoisse le saisit, Comme la douleur d’une femme qui accouche…
44 Voici, tel qu’un lion, il monte des rives orgueilleuses du Jourdain Contre la demeure forte; Soudain je les en chasserai, Et j’établirai sur elle celui que j’ai choisi. Car qui est semblable à moi? Qui me donnera des ordres? Et quel est le chef qui me résistera?
