Jeremiah 51:53 in Context — Jeremiah 51
51 Nous étions confus, quand nous entendions l’insulte; La honte couvrait nos visages, Quand des étrangers sont venus Dans le sanctuaire de la maison de l’Éternel.
52 C’est pourquoi voici, les jours viennent, dit l’Éternel, Où je châtierai ses idoles; Et dans tout son pays les blessés gémiront.
53 Quand Babylone s’élèverait jusqu’aux cieux, Quand elle rendrait inaccessibles ses hautes forteresses, J’enverrai contre elle les dévastateurs, dit l’Éternel…
54 Des cris s’échappent de Babylone, Et le désastre est grand dans le pays des Chaldéens.
55 Car l’Éternel ravage Babylone, Il en fait cesser les cris retentissants; Les flots des dévastateurs mugissent comme de grandes eaux, Dont le bruit tumultueux se fait entendre.
