Jeremiah 51:20 in Context — Jeremiah 51
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.
20 Tu as été pour moi un marteau, un instrument de guerre. J’ai brisé par toi des nations, Par toi j’ai détruit des royaumes.
21 Par toi j’ai brisé le cheval et son cavalier; Par toi j’ai brisé le char et celui qui était dessus.
22 Par toi j’ai brisé l’homme et la femme; Par toi j’ai brisé le vieillard et l’enfant; Par toi j’ai brisé le jeune homme et la jeune fille.
