Joel 2:18 in Context — Joel 2
16 Assemblez le peuple, formez une sainte réunion! Assemblez les vieillards, Assemblez les enfants, Même les nourrissons à la mamelle! Que l’époux sorte de sa demeure, Et l’épouse de sa chambre!
17 Qu’entre le portique et l’autel Pleurent les sacrificateurs, Serviteurs de l’Éternel, Et qu’ils disent: Éternel, épargne ton peuple! Ne livre pas ton héritage à l’opprobre, Aux railleries des nations! Pourquoi dirait-on parmi les peuples: Où est leur Dieu?
18 L’Éternel est ému de jalousie pour son pays, Et il épargne son peuple.
19 L’Éternel répond, il dit à son peuple: Voici, je vous enverrai du blé, Du moût et de l’huile, Et vous en serez rassasiés; Et je ne vous livrerai plus à l’opprobre parmi les nations.
20 J’éloignerai de vous l’ennemi du nord, Je le chasserai vers une terre aride et déserte, Son avant-garde dans la mer orientale, Son arrière-garde dans la mer occidentale; Et son infection se répandra, Sa puanteur s’élèvera dans les airs, Parce qu’il a fait de grandes choses.
