Lamentations 1:11 in Context — Lamentations 1
9 La souillure était dans les pans de sa robe, et elle ne songeait pas à sa fin; Elle est tombée d’une manière étonnante, et nul ne la console. Vois ma misère, ô Éternel! Quelle arrogance chez l’ennemi!
10 L’oppresseur a étendu la main Sur tout ce qu’elle avait de précieux; Elle a vu pénétrer dans son sanctuaire les nations Auxquelles tu avais défendu d’entrer dans ton assemblée.
11 Tout son peuple soupire, il cherche du pain; Ils ont donné leurs choses précieuses pour de la nourriture, Afin de ranimer leur vie. Vois, Éternel, regarde comme je suis avilie!
12 Je m’adresse à vous, à vous tous qui passez ici! Regardez et voyez s’il est une douleur pareille à ma douleur, A celle dont j’ai été frappée! L’Éternel m’a affligée au jour de son ardente colère.
13 D’en haut il a lancé dans mes os un feu qui les dévore; Il a tendu un filet sous mes pieds, Il m’a fait tomber en arrière; Il m’a jetée dans la désolation, dans une langueur de tous les jours.
