Jeremiah 50:9 in Context — Jeremiah 50

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!

9 Car voici, je vais susciter et faire monter contre Babylone Une multitude de grandes nations du pays du septentrion; Elles se rangeront en bataille contre elle, et s’en empareront; Leurs flèches sont comme un habile guerrier, Qui ne revient pas à vide.

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!
