Jeremiah 51:31 in Context — Jeremiah 51
29 La terre s’ébranle, elle tremble; Car le dessein de l’Éternel contre Babylone s’accomplit; Il va faire du pays de Babylone un désert sans habitants.
30 Les guerriers de Babylone cessent de combattre, Ils se tiennent dans les forteresses; Leur force est épuisée, ils sont comme des femmes. On met le feu aux habitations, On brise les barres.
31 Les courriers se rencontrent, Les messagers se croisent, Pour annoncer au roi de Babylone Que sa ville est prise par tous les côtés,
32 Que les passages sont envahis, Les marais embrasés par le feu, Et les hommes de guerre consternés.
33 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: La fille de Babylone est comme une aire dans le temps où on la foule; Encore un instant, et le moment de la moisson sera venu pour elle.
