Zephaniah 1:12 in Context — Zephaniah 1
10 En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel, Il y aura des cris à la porte des poissons, Des lamentations dans l’autre quartier de la ville, Et un grand désastre sur les collines.
11 Gémissez, habitants de Macthesch! Car tous ceux qui trafiquent sont détruits, Tous les hommes chargés d’argent sont exterminés.
12 En ce temps-là, je fouillerai Jérusalem avec des lampes, Et je châtierai les hommes qui reposent sur leurs lies, Et qui disent dans leur cœur: L’Éternel ne fait ni bien ni mal.
13 Leurs biens seront au pillage, Et leurs maisons seront dévastées; Ils auront bâti des maisons, qu’ils n’habiteront plus, Ils auront planté des vignes, dont ils ne boiront plus le vin.
14 Le grand jour de l’Éternel est proche, Il est proche, il arrive en toute hâte; Le jour de l’Éternel fait entendre sa voix, Et le héros pousse des cris amers.
