Jeremiah 8:6 in Context — Jeremiah 8
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.
8 Comment pouvez-vous dire: Nous sommes sages, La loi de l’Éternel est avec nous? C’est bien en vain que s’est mise à l’œuvre La plume mensongère des scribes.
