23 Tu t’es insurgé contre le maître du ciel, en faisant apporter devant toi les vases de son temple pour y boire du vin, toi, tes grands, tes épouses et tes concubines; tu as célébré les Dieux d’argent et d’or, d’airain, de fer, de bois et de pierre, qui ne voient, ni n’entendent, ni ne savent rien. Quant au Dieu qui tient ton âme en ses mains et qui dirige toutes tes voies, tu ne l’as pas honoré.
Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
