Zephaniah 3:5 in Context — Zephaniah 3

3 Ses chefs au milieu d’elle sont des lions rugissants; Ses juges sont des loups du soir qui ne gardent rien pour le matin.

4 Ses prophètes sont téméraires, infidèles; Ses sacrificateurs profanent les choses saintes, violent la loi.

5 L’Éternel est juste au milieu d’elle, Il ne commet point d’iniquité; Chaque matin il produit à la lumière ses jugements, Sans jamais y manquer; Mais celui qui est inique ne connaît pas la honte.

6 J’ai exterminé des nations; leurs tours sont détruites; J’ai dévasté leurs rues, plus de passants! Leurs villes sont ravagées, plus d’hommes, plus d’habitants!

7 Je disais: Si du moins tu voulais me craindre, Avoir égard à la correction, Ta demeure ne serait pas détruite, Tous les châtiments dont je t’ai menacée n’arriveraient pas; Mais ils se sont hâtés de pervertir toutes leurs actions.
