Ezekiel 18:23 in Context — Ezekiel 18
21 Si le méchant revient de tous les péchés qu’il a commis, s’il observe toutes mes lois et pratique la droiture et la justice, il vivra, il ne mourra pas.
22 Toutes les transgressions qu’il a commises seront oubliées; il vivra, à cause de la justice qu’il a pratiquée.
23 Ce que je désire, est-ce que le méchant meure? Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel. N’est-ce pas qu’il change de conduite et qu’il vive?
24 Si le juste se détourne de sa justice et commet l’iniquité, s’il imite toutes les abominations du méchant, vivra-t-il? Toute sa justice sera oubliée, parce qu’il s’est livré à l’iniquité et au péché; à cause de cela, il mourra.
25 Vous dites: La voie du Seigneur n’est pas droite. Écoutez donc, maison d’Israël! Est-ce ma voie qui n’est pas droite? Ne sont-ce pas plutôt vos voies qui ne sont pas droites?
