Jeremiah 6:22 in Context — Jeremiah 6

20 Qu’ai-je besoin de l’encens qui vient de Séba, Du roseau aromatique d’un pays lointain? Vos holocaustes ne me plaisent point, Et vos sacrifices ne me sont point agréables.

21 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, je mettrai devant ce peuple des pierres d’achoppement, Contre lesquelles se heurteront ensemble pères et fils, Voisins et amis, et ils périront.

22 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, un peuple vient du pays du septentrion, Une grande nation se lève des extrémités de la terre.

23 Ils portent l’arc et le javelot; Ils sont cruels, sans miséricorde; Leur voix mugit comme la mer; Ils sont montés sur des chevaux, Prêts à combattre comme un seul homme, Contre toi, fille de Sion!

24 Au bruit de leur approche, Nos mains s’affaiblissent, L’angoisse nous saisit, Comme la douleur d’une femme qui accouche.
