Lamentations 2:15 in Context — Lamentations 2
13 Que dois-je te dire? À quoi te comparer, fille de Jérusalem? Qui trouver de semblable à toi, et quelle consolation te donner, Vierge, fille de Sion? Car ta plaie est grande comme la mer: Qui pourra te guérir?
14 Tes prophètes ont eu pour toi des visions vaines et fausses; Ils n’ont pas mis à nu ton iniquité, Afin de détourner de toi la captivité; Ils t’ont donné des oracles mensongers et trompeurs.
15 Tous les passants battent des mains sur toi, Ils sifflent, ils secouent la tête contre la fille de Jérusalem: Est-ce là cette ville qu’on appelait une beauté parfaite, La joie de toute la terre?
16 Tous tes ennemis ouvrent la bouche contre toi, Ils sifflent, ils grincent des dents, Ils disent: Nous l’avons engloutie! C’est bien le jour que nous attendions, nous l’avons atteint, nous le voyons!
17 L’Éternel a exécuté ce qu’il avait résolu, Il a accompli la parole qu’il avait dès longtemps arrêtée, Il a détruit sans pitié; Il a fait de toi la joie de l’ennemi, Il a relevé la force de tes oppresseurs.
