Lamentations 1:19 in Context — Lamentations 1
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.
21 On a entendu mes soupirs, et personne ne m’a consolée; Tous mes ennemis ont appris mon malheur, Ils se sont réjouis de ce que tu l’as causé; Tu amèneras, tu publieras le jour où ils seront comme moi.
