Ezekiel 14:9 in Context — Ezekiel 14

7 Car tout homme de la maison d’Israël, ou des étrangers séjournant en Israël, qui s’est éloigné de moi, qui porte ses idoles dans son cœur, et qui attache les regards sur ce qui l’a fait tomber dans son iniquité, s’il vient s’adresser au prophète pour me consulter par lui, moi, l’Éternel, je lui répondrai par moi.

8 Je tournerai ma face contre cet homme, je ferai de lui un signe et un sujet de sarcasme, et je l’exterminerai du milieu de mon peuple. Et vous saurez que je suis l’Éternel.

9 Si le prophète se laisse séduire, s’il prononce une parole, c’est moi, l’Éternel, qui aurai séduit ce prophète; j’étendrai ma main contre lui, et je le détruirai du milieu de mon peuple d’Israël.

10 Ils porteront ainsi la peine de leur iniquité; la peine du prophète sera comme la peine de celui qui consulte,

11 afin que la maison d’Israël ne s’égare plus loin de moi, et qu’elle ne se souille plus par toutes ses transgressions. Alors ils seront mon peuple, et je serai leur Dieu, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.
