Jeremiah 7:16 in Context — Jeremiah 7
14 Je traiterai la maison sur laquelle mon nom est invoqué, Sur laquelle vous faites reposer votre confiance, Et le lieu que j’ai donné à vous et à vos pères, De la même manière que j’ai traité Silo;
15 Et je vous rejetterai loin de ma face, Comme j’ai rejeté tous vos frères, Toute la postérité d’Éphraïm.
16 Et toi, n’intercède pas en faveur de ce peuple, N’élève pour eux ni supplications ni prières, Ne fais pas des instances auprès de moi; Car je ne t’écouterai pas.
17 Ne vois-tu pas ce qu’ils font dans les villes de Juda Et dans les rues de Jérusalem?
18 Les enfants ramassent du bois, Les pères allument le feu, Et les femmes pétrissent la pâte, Pour préparer des gâteaux à la reine du ciel, Et pour faire des libations à d’autres dieux, Afin de m’irriter.
