Lamentations 1:8 in Context — Lamentations 1
6 La fille de Sion a perdu toute sa gloire; Ses chefs sont comme des cerfs Qui ne trouvent point de pâture, Et qui fuient sans force devant celui qui les chasse.
7 Aux jours de sa détresse et de sa misère, Jérusalem s’est souvenue De tous les biens dès longtemps son partage, Quand son peuple est tombé sans secours sous la main de l’oppresseur; Ses ennemis l’ont vue, et ils ont ri de sa chute.
8 Jérusalem a multiplié ses péchés, C’est pourquoi elle est un objet d’aversion; Tous ceux qui l’honoraient la méprisent, en voyant sa nudité; Elle-même soupire, et détourne la face.
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.
