Jeremiah 6:17 in Context — Jeremiah 6
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.
16 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Placez-vous sur les chemins, regardez, Et demandez quels sont les anciens sentiers, Quelle est la bonne voie; marchez-y, Et vous trouverez le repos de vos âmes! Mais ils répondent: Nous n’y marcherons pas.
17 J’ai mis près de vous des sentinelles: Soyez attentifs au son de la trompette! Mais ils répondent: Nous n’y serons pas attentifs.
18 C’est pourquoi écoutez, nations! Sachez ce qui leur arrivera, assemblée des peuples!
19 Écoute, terre! Voici, je fais venir sur ce peuple le malheur, Fruit de ses pensées; Car ils n’ont point été attentifs à mes paroles, Ils ont méprisé ma loi.
