Ezekiel 13:22 in Context — Ezekiel 13

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.

22 Parce que vous affligez le cœur du juste par des mensonges, Quand moi-même je ne l’ai point attristé, Et parce que vous fortifiez les mains du méchant Pour l’empêcher de quitter sa mauvaise voie et pour le faire vivre,

23 Vous n’aurez plus de vaines visions, Et vous ne prononcerez plus d’oracles; Je délivrerai de vos mains mon peuple. Et vous saurez que je suis l’Éternel.
