Jeremiah 51:17 in Context — Jeremiah 51
15 Il a crée la terre par sa puissance, Il a fondé le monde par sa sagesse, Il a étendu les cieux par son intelligence.
16 A sa voix, les eaux mugissent dans les cieux, Il fait monter les nuages des extrémités de la terre, Il produit les éclairs et la pluie, Il tire le vent de ses trésors.
17 Tout homme devient stupide par sa science, Tout orfèvre est honteux de son image taillée; Car ses idoles ne sont que mensonge, Il n’y a point en elles de souffle.
18 Elles sont une chose de néant, une œuvre de tromperie; Elles périront, quand viendra le châtiment.
19 Celui qui est la part de Jacob n’est pas comme elles; Car c’est lui qui a tout formé, Et Israël est la tribu de son héritage. L’Éternel des armées est son nom.
