Jeremiah 9:4 in Context — Jeremiah 9

2 Oh! Si j’avais au désert une cabane de voyageurs, J’abandonnerais mon peuple, je m’en éloignerais! Car ce sont tous des adultères, C’est une troupe de perfides.

3 Ils ont la langue tendue comme un arc et lancent le mensonge; Ce n’est pas par la vérité qu’ils sont puissants dans le pays; Car ils vont de méchanceté en méchanceté, Et ils ne me connaissent pas, dit l’Éternel.

4 Que chacun se tienne en garde contre son ami, Et qu’on ne se fie à aucun de ses frères; Car tout frère cherche à tromper, Et tout ami répand des calomnies.

5 Ils se jouent les uns des autres, Et ne disent point la vérité; Ils exercent leur langue à mentir, Ils s’étudient à faire le mal.

6 Ta demeure est au sein de la fausseté; C’est par fausseté qu’ils refusent de me connaître, Dit l’Éternel.
