Jeremiah 8:5 in Context — Jeremiah 8
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.
6 Je suis attentif, et j’écoute: Ils ne parlent pas comme ils devraient; Aucun ne se repent de sa méchanceté, Et ne dit: Qu’ai-je fait? Tous reprennent leur course, Comme un cheval qui s’élance au combat.
7 Même la cigogne connaît dans les cieux sa saison; La tourterelle, l’hirondelle et la grue Observent le temps de leur arrivée; Mais mon peuple ne connaît pas la loi de l’Éternel.
