Jeremiah 9:5 in Context — Jeremiah 9
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.
7 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Voici je les sonderai, je les éprouverai. Car comment agir à l’égard de la fille de mon peuple?
