Jeremiah 51:3 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!
5 Car Israël et Juda ne sont point abandonnés de leur Dieu, De l’Éternel des armées, Et le pays des Chaldéens est rempli de crimes Contre le Saint d’Israël.
