Jeremiah 8:3 in Context — Jeremiah 8
1 En ce temps-là, dit l’Éternel, on tirera de leurs sépulcres les os des rois de Juda, les os de ses chefs, les os des sacrificateurs, les os des prophètes, et les os des habitants de Jérusalem.
2 On les étendra devant le soleil, devant la lune, et devant toute l’armée des cieux, qu’ils ont aimés, qu’ils ont servis, qu’ils ont suivis, qu’ils ont recherchés, et devant lesquels ils se sont prosternés; on ne les recueillera point, on ne les enterrera point, et ils seront comme du fumier sur la terre.
3 La mort sera préférable à la vie pour tous ceux qui resteront de cette race méchante, dans tous les lieux où je les aurai chassés, dit l’Éternel des armées.
4 Dis-leur: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Est-ce que l’on tombe sans se relever? Ou se détourne-t-on sans revenir?
5 Pourquoi donc ce peuple de Jérusalem s’abandonne-t-il A de perpétuels égarements? Ils persistent dans la tromperie, Ils refusent de se convertir.
