Deuteronomy 4:25 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

23 Veillez sur vous, afin de ne point mettre en oubli l’alliance que l’Éternel, votre Dieu, a traitée avec vous, et de ne point vous faire d’image taillée, de représentation quelconque, que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’ait défendue.

24 Car l’Éternel, ton Dieu, est un feu dévorant, un Dieu jaloux.

25 Lorsque tu auras des enfants, et des enfants de tes enfants, et que vous serez depuis longtemps dans le pays, si vous vous corrompez, si vous faites des images taillées, des représentations de quoi que ce soit, si vous faites ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel, votre Dieu, pour l’irriter,

26 j’en prends aujourd’hui à témoin contre vous le ciel et la terre, vous disparaîtrez par une mort rapide du pays dont vous allez prendre possession au-delà du Jourdain, vous n’y prolongerez pas vos jours, car vous serez entièrement détruits.

27 L’Éternel vous dispersera parmi les peuples, et vous ne resterez qu’un petit nombre au milieu des nations où l’Éternel vous emmènera.
