Jeremiah 51:2 in Context — Jeremiah 51

1 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, je fais lever contre Babylone, Et contre les habitants de la Chaldée, Un vent destructeur.

2 J’envoie contre Babylone des vanneurs qui la vanneront, Qui videront son pays; Ils fondront de toutes parts sur elle, Au jour du malheur.

3 Qu’on tende l’arc contre celui qui tend son arc, Contre celui qui est fier dans sa cuirasse! N’épargnez pas ses jeunes hommes! Exterminez toute son armée!

4 Qu’ils tombent blessés à mort dans le pays des Chaldéens, Percés de coups dans les rues de Babylone!
