Lamentations 5:20 in Context — Lamentations 5
18 C’est que la montagne de Sion est ravagée, C’est que les renards s’y promènent.
19 Toi, l’Éternel, tu règnes à jamais; Ton trône subsiste de génération en génération.
20 Pourquoi nous oublierais-tu pour toujours, Nous abandonnerais-tu pour de longues années?
21 Fais-nous revenir vers toi, ô Éternel, et nous reviendrons! Donne-nous encore des jours comme ceux d’autrefois!
22 Nous aurais-tu entièrement rejetés, Et t’irriterais-tu contre nous jusqu’à l’excès?
