Jeremiah 50:6 in Context — Jeremiah 50

4 En ces jours, en ce temps-là, dit l’Éternel, Les enfants d’Israël et les enfants de Juda reviendront ensemble; Ils marcheront en pleurant, Et ils chercheront l’Éternel, leur Dieu.

5 Ils s’informeront du chemin de Sion, Ils tourneront vers elle leurs regards: Venez, attachez-vous à l’Éternel, Par une alliance éternelle qui ne soit jamais oubliée!

6 Mon peuple était un troupeau de brebis perdues; Leurs bergers les égaraient, les faisaient errer par les montagnes; Elles allaient des montagnes sur les collines, Oubliant leur bercail.

7 Tous ceux qui les trouvaient les dévoraient, Et leurs ennemis disaient: Nous ne sommes point coupables, Puisqu’ils ont péché contre l’Éternel, la demeure de la justice, Contre l’Éternel, l’espérance de leurs pères.

8 Fuyez de Babylone, sortez du pays des Chaldéens, Et soyez comme des boucs à la tête du troupeau!
