Ezekiel 16:44 in Context — Ezekiel 16
42 J’assouvirai ma colère contre toi, et tu ne seras plus l’objet de ma jalousie; je m’apaiserai, je ne serai plus irrité.
43 Parce que tu ne t’es pas souvenue du temps de ta jeunesse, parce que tu m’as provoqué par toutes ces choses, voici, je ferai retomber ta conduite sur ta tête, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, et tu ne commettras plus le crime avec toutes tes abominations.
44 Voici, tous ceux qui disent des proverbes, t’appliqueront ce proverbe: Telle mère, telle fille!
45 Tu es la fille de ta mère, qui a repoussé son mari et ses enfants; tu es la sœur de tes sœurs, qui ont repoussé leurs maris et leurs enfants. Votre mère était une Héthienne, et votre père un Amoréen.
46 Ta grande sœur, qui demeure à ta gauche, c’est Samarie avec ses filles; et ta petite sœur, qui demeure à ta droite, c’est Sodome avec ses filles.
