Ezekiel 16:20 in Context — Ezekiel 16

18 Tu as pris tes vêtements brodés, tu les en as couverts, et tu as offert à ces simulacres mon huile et mon encens.

19 Le pain que je t’avais donné, la fleur de farine, l’huile et le miel, dont je te nourrissais, tu leur as offert ces choses comme des parfums d’une odeur agréable. Voilà ce qui est arrivé, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.

20 Tu as pris tes fils et tes filles, que tu m’avais enfantés, et tu les leur as sacrifiés pour qu’ils leur servent d’aliment: n’était-ce pas assez de tes prostitutions?

21 Tu as égorgé mes fils, et tu les as donnés, en les faisant passer par le feu en leur honneur.

22 Au milieu de toutes tes abominations et de tes prostitutions, tu ne t’es pas souvenue du temps de ta jeunesse, lorsque tu étais nue, entièrement nue, et baignée dans ton sang.
