Jeremiah 6:13 in Context — Jeremiah 6

11 Je suis plein de la fureur de l’Éternel, je ne puis la contenir. Répands-la sur l’enfant dans la rue, Et sur les assemblées des jeunes gens. Car l’homme et la femme seront pris, Le vieillard et celui qui est chargé de jours.

12 Leurs maisons passeront à d’autres, Les champs et les femmes aussi, Quand j’étendrai ma main sur les habitants du pays, Dit l’Éternel.

13 Car depuis le plus petit jusqu’au plus grand, Tous sont avides de gain; Depuis le prophète jusqu’au sacrificateur, Tous usent de tromperie.

14 Ils pansent à la légère la plaie de la fille de mon peuple: Paix! Paix! Disent-ils; Et il n’y a point de paix;

15 Ils seront confus, car ils commettent des abominations; Ils ne rougissent pas, ils ne connaissent pas la honte; C’est pourquoi ils tomberont avec ceux qui tombent, Ils seront renversés quand je les châtierai, Dit l’Éternel.
