Ezekiel 14:20 in Context — Ezekiel 14

18 et qu’il y eût au milieu de lui ces trois hommes, je suis vivant! Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, ils ne sauveraient ni fils ni filles, mais eux seuls seraient sauvés.

19 Ou si j’envoyais la peste dans ce pays, si je répandais contre lui ma fureur par la mortalité, pour en exterminer les hommes et les bêtes,

20 et qu’il y eût au milieu de lui Noé, Daniel et Job, je suis vivant! Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, ils ne sauveraient ni fils ni filles, mais ils sauveraient leur âme par leur justice.

21 Oui, ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Quoique j’envoie contre Jérusalem mes quatre châtiments terribles, l’épée, la famine, les bêtes féroces et la peste, pour en exterminer les hommes et les bêtes,

22 il y aura néanmoins un reste qui échappera, qui en sortira, des fils et des filles. Voici, ils arriveront auprès de vous; vous verrez leur conduite et leurs actions, et vous vous consolerez du malheur que je fais venir sur Jérusalem, de tout ce que je fais venir sur elle.
