Ezekiel 20:16 in Context — Ezekiel 20
14 Néanmoins j’ai agi par égard pour mon nom, afin qu’il ne soit pas profané aux yeux des nations en présence desquelles je les avais fait sortir d’Égypte.
15 Dans le désert, je levai ma main vers eux, pour ne pas les conduire dans le pays que je leur avais destiné, pays où coulent le lait et le miel, le plus beau de tous les pays,
16 et cela parce qu’ils rejetèrent mes ordonnances et ne suivirent point mes lois, et parce qu’ils profanèrent mes sabbats, car leur cœur ne s’éloigna pas de leurs idoles.
17 Mais j’eus pour eux un regard de pitié et je ne les détruisis pas, je ne les exterminai pas dans le désert.
18 Je dis à leurs fils dans le désert: Ne suivez pas les préceptes de vos pères, n’observez pas leurs coutumes, et ne vous souillez pas par leurs idoles!
