Jeremiah 9:17 in Context — Jeremiah 9
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!
18 Qu’elles se hâtent de dire sur nous une complainte! Et que les larmes tombent de nos yeux, Que l’eau coule de nos paupières!
19 Car des cris lamentables se font entendre de Sion: Eh quoi! Nous sommes détruits! Nous sommes couverts de honte! Il nous faut abandonner le pays! On a renversé nos demeures!
