Jeremiah 8:17 in Context — Jeremiah 8
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.
17 Car j’envoie parmi vous des serpents, des basilics, Contre lesquels il n’y a point d’enchantement; Ils vous mordront, dit l’Éternel.
18 Je voudrais soulager ma douleur; Mon cœur souffre au-dedans de moi.
19 Voici les cris de la fille de mon peuple Retentissent sur la terre lointaine: L’Éternel n’est-il plus à Sion? N’a-t-elle plus son roi au milieu d’elle? Pourquoi m’ont-ils irrité par leurs images taillées, Par des idoles étrangères?
