Lamentations 4:14 in Context — Lamentations 4
12 Les rois de la terre n’auraient pas cru, Aucun des habitants du monde n’aurait cru Que l’adversaire, que l’ennemi entrerait Dans les portes de Jérusalem.
13 Voilà le fruit des péchés de ses prophètes, Des iniquités de ses sacrificateurs, Qui ont répandu dans son sein Le sang des justes!
14 Ils erraient en aveugles dans les rues, Souillés de sang; On ne pouvait Toucher leurs vêtements.
15 Éloignez-vous, impurs! Leur criait-on, Éloignez-vous, éloignez-vous, ne nous touchez pas! Ils sont en fuite, ils errent çà et là; On dit parmi les nations: Ils n’auront plus leur demeure!
16 L’Éternel les a dispersés dans sa colère, Il ne tourne plus les regards vers eux; On n’a eu ni respect pour les sacrificateurs, Ni pitié pour les vieillards.
