Lamentations 1:18 in Context — Lamentations 1
16 C’est pour cela que je pleure, que mes yeux fondent en larmes; Car il s’est éloigné de moi, celui qui me consolerait, Qui ranimerait ma vie. Mes fils sont dans la désolation, parce que l’ennemi a triomphé.
17 Sion a étendu les mains, Et personne ne l’a consolée; L’Éternel a envoyé contre Jacob les ennemis d’alentour; Jérusalem a été un objet d’horreur au milieu d’eux.
18 L’Éternel est juste, Car j’ai été rebelle à ses ordres. Écoutez, vous tous, peuples, et voyez ma douleur! Mes vierges et mes jeunes hommes sont allés en captivité.
19 J’ai appelé mes amis, et ils m’ont trompée. Mes sacrificateurs et mes anciens ont expiré dans la ville: Ils cherchaient de la nourriture, Afin de ranimer leur vie.
20 Éternel, regarde ma détresse! Mes entrailles bouillonnent, Mon cœur est bouleversé au-dedans de moi, Car j’ai été rebelle. Au-dehors l’épée a fait ses ravages, au-dedans la mort.
