Nehemiah 2:15 in Context — Nehemiah 2

13 Je sortis de nuit par la porte de la vallée, et je me dirigeai contre la source du dragon et vers la porte du fumier, considérant les murailles en ruines de Jérusalem et réfléchissant à ses portes consumées par le feu.

14 Je passai près de la porte de la source et de l’étang du roi, et il n’y avait point de place par où pût passer la bête qui était sous moi.

15 Je montai de nuit par le torrent, et je considérai encore la muraille. Puis je rentrai par la porte de la vallée, et je fus ainsi de retour.

16 Les magistrats ignoraient où j’étais allé, et ce que je faisais. Jusqu’à ce moment, je n’avais rien dit aux Juifs, ni aux sacrificateurs, ni aux grands, ni aux magistrats, ni à aucun de ceux qui s’occupaient des affaires.

17 Je leur dis alors: Vous voyez le malheureux état où nous sommes! Jérusalem est détruite, et ses portes sont consumées par le feu! Venez, rebâtissons la muraille de Jérusalem, et nous ne serons plus dans l’opprobre.
