Jeremiah 9:22 in Context — Jeremiah 9

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.

23 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Que le sage ne se glorifie pas de sa sagesse, Que le fort ne se glorifie pas de sa force, Que le riche ne se glorifie pas de sa richesse.

24 Mais que celui qui veut se glorifier se glorifie D’avoir de l’intelligence et de me connaître, De savoir que je suis l’Éternel, Qui exerce la bonté, le droit et la justice sur la terre; Car c’est à cela que je prends plaisir, dit l’Éternel.
