Jeremiah 9:20 in Context — Jeremiah 9
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!
20 Femmes, écoutez la parole de l’Éternel, Et que votre oreille saisisse ce que dit sa bouche! Apprenez à vos filles des chants lugubres, Enseignez-vous des complaintes les unes aux autres!
21 Car la mort est montée par nos fenêtres, Elle a pénétré dans nos palais; Elle extermine les enfants dans la rue, Les jeunes gens sur les places.
22 Dis: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Les cadavres des hommes tomberont Comme du fumier sur les champs, Comme tombe derrière le moissonneur une gerbe Que personne ne ramasse.
