Jérémie 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:3

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel
The Lord of armies above and below in general, and the God of Israel in particular; wherefore they ought to hearken to what he was about to say, and to be obedient to him: amend your ways and your doings;
or, "make them good" ^F12; which shows that they were bad, and were not agreeable to the law and will of God, to which they ought to have been conformed; and the way to amend them was to act according to the rule of the divine word they were favoured with: and I will cause you to dwell in this place;
to continue to dwell in Jerusalem, and in Judea, the land of their nativity, and in the temple, the house of God, and place of religious worship; but, if not, it is suggested that they should not continue here, but be carried captive into a strange land.

1 La parole qui fut adressée à Jérémie de la part de l'Éternel, en ces mots:

2 Tiens-toi à la porte de la maison de l'Éternel, et là, crie cette parole, et dis: Écoutez la parole de l'Éternel, vous tous, hommes de Juda, qui entrez par ces portes pour vous prosterner devant l'Éternel.

3 Ainsi a dit l'Éternel des armées, le Dieu d'Israël: Amendez vos voies et vos actions, et je vous ferai habiter en ce lieu.

4 Ne vous fiez pas à des paroles trompeuses, disant: C'est ici le temple de l'Éternel, le temple de l'Éternel, le temple de l'Éternel!

5 Mais si sérieusement vous amendez vos voies et vos actions; si vous pratiquez la justice envers les uns et les autres;
