Jeremiah 8:14 in Context — Jeremiah 8
12 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.
13 Je veux en finir avec eux, dit l’Éternel; Il n’y aura plus de raisins à la vigne, Plus de figues au figuier, Et les feuilles se flétriront; Ce que je leur avais donné leur échappera.
14 Pourquoi restons-nous assis? Rassemblez-vous, et allons dans les villes fortes, Pour y périr! Car l’Éternel, notre Dieu, nous destine à la mort, Il nous fait boire des eaux empoisonnées, Parce que nous avons péché contre l’Éternel.
15 Nous espérions la paix, et il n’arrive rien d’heureux; Un temps de guérison, et voici la terreur!
16 Le hennissement de ses chevaux se fait entendre du côté de Dan, Et au bruit de leur hennissement toute la terre tremble; Ils viennent, ils dévorent le pays et ce qu’il renferme, La ville et ceux qui l’habitent.
