Ezekiel 13:19 in Context — Ezekiel 13
17 Et toi, fils de l’homme, porte tes regards sur les filles de ton peuple Qui prophétisent selon leur propre cœur, Et prophétise contre elles!
18 Tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Malheur à celles qui fabriquent des coussinets pour toutes les aisselles, Et qui font des voiles pour la tête des gens de toute taille, Afin de surprendre les âmes! Pensez-vous surprendre les âmes de mon peuple, Et conserver vos propres âmes?
19 Vous me déshonorez auprès de mon peuple Pour des poignées d’orge et des morceaux de pain, En tuant des âmes qui ne doivent pas mourir, Et en faisant vivre des âmes qui ne doivent pas vivre, Trompant ainsi mon peuple, qui écoute le mensonge.
20 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, j’en veux à vos coussinets Par lesquels vous surprenez les âmes afin qu’elles s’envolent, Et je les arracherai de vos bras; Et je délivrerai les âmes Que vous cherchez à surprendre afin qu’elles s’envolent.
21 J’arracherai aussi vos voiles, Et je délivrerai de vos mains mon peuple; Ils ne serviront plus de piège entre vos mains. Et vous saurez que je suis l’Éternel.
