Jeremiah 51:57 in Context — Jeremiah 51
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.
57 J’enivrerai ses princes et ses sages, Ses gouverneurs, ses chefs et ses guerriers; Ils s’endormiront d’un sommeil éternel, et ne se réveilleront plus, Dit le roi, dont l’Éternel des armées est le nom.
58 Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Les larges murailles de Babylone seront renversées, Ses hautes portes seront brûlées par le feu; Ainsi les peuples auront travaillé en vain, Les nations se seront fatiguées pour le feu.
59 Ordre donné par Jérémie, le prophète, à Seraja, fils de Nérija, fils de Machséja, lorsqu’il se rendit à Babylone avec Sédécias, roi de Juda, la quatrième année du règne de Sédécias. Or, Seraja était premier chambellan.
