Jeremiah 51:54 in Context — Jeremiah 51

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.

56 Oui, le dévastateur fond sur elle, sur Babylone; Les guerriers de Babylone sont pris, Leurs arcs sont brisés. Car l’Éternel est un Dieu qui rend à chacun selon ses œuvres, Qui paie à chacun son salaire.
