Jeremiah 9:15 in Context — Jeremiah 9
13 L’Éternel dit: C’est parce qu’ils ont abandonné ma loi, Que j’avais mise devant eux; Parce qu’ils n’ont point écouté ma voix, Et qu’ils ne l’ont point suivie;
14 Parce qu’ils ont suivi les penchants de leur cœur, Et qu’ils sont allés après les Baals, Comme leurs pères le leur ont appris.
15 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Voici, je vais nourrir ce peuple d’absinthe, Et je lui ferai boire des eaux empoisonnées.
16 Je les disperserai parmi des nations Que n’ont connues ni eux ni leurs pères, Et j’enverrai derrière eux l’épée, Jusqu’à ce que je les aie exterminés.
17 Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Cherchez, appelez les pleureuses, et qu’elles viennent! Envoyez vers les femmes habiles, et qu’elles viennent!
