Ezekiel 11:16 in Context — Ezekiel 11
14 Et la parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
15 Fils de l’homme, ce sont tes frères, tes frères, Ceux de ta parenté, et la maison d’Israël tout entière, A qui les habitants de Jérusalem disent: Restez loin de l’Éternel, Le pays nous a été donné en propriété.
16 C’est pourquoi tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Si je les tiens éloignés parmi les nations, Si je les ai dispersés en divers pays, Je serai pour eux quelque temps un asile Dans les pays où ils sont venus.
17 C’est pourquoi tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Je vous rassemblerai du milieu des peuples, Je vous recueillerai des pays où vous êtes dispersés, Et je vous donnerai la terre d’Israël.
18 C’est là qu’ils iront, Et ils en ôteront toutes les idoles et toutes les abominations.
