Jeremiah 2:4
French (La Bible expliquée)
Vous qui descendez de Jacob, gens de tous les clans d'Israël, écoutez cette parole du Seigneur; L'accusation s'adresse aux maîtres du pays: prêtres, dirigeants ou prophètes, car ils sont responsables du comportement qui prédomine en Israël. Le peuple a abandonné le Dieu de la vie pour des dieux fabriqués par l'imagination. Il ne peut en sortir que mort et chaos. La faute est inexcusable et incompréhensible. Le Seigneur n'a-t-il pas passionnément aimé son peuple?
