Lamentations 2:3 in Context — Lamentations 2
1 Eh quoi! Le Seigneur, dans sa colère, a couvert de nuages la fille de Sion! Il a précipité du ciel sur la terre la magnificence d’Israël! Il ne s’est pas souvenu de son marchepied, Au jour de sa colère!
2 Le Seigneur a détruit sans pitié toutes les demeures de Jacob; Il a, dans sa fureur, renversé les forteresses de la fille de Juda, Il les a fait rouler à terre; Il a profané le royaume et ses chefs.
3 Il a, dans son ardente colère, abattu toute la force d’Israël; Il a retiré sa droite en présence de l’ennemi; Il a allumé dans Jacob des flammes de feu, Qui dévorent de tous côtés.
4 Il a tendu son arc comme un ennemi; Sa droite s’est dressée comme celle d’un assaillant; Il a fait périr tout ce qui plaisait aux regards; Il a répandu sa fureur comme un feu sur la tente de la fille de Sion.
5 Le Seigneur a été comme un ennemi; Il a dévoré Israël, il a dévoré tous ses palais, Il a détruit ses forteresses; Il a rempli la fille de Juda de plaintes et de gémissements.
