Ezekiel 20:28 in Context — Ezekiel 20
26 Je les souillai par leurs offrandes, quand ils faisaient passer par le feu tous leurs premiers-nés; je voulus ainsi les punir, et leur faire connaître que je suis l’Éternel.
27 C’est pourquoi parle à la maison d’Israël, fils de l’homme, et dis-leur: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Vos pères m’ont encore outragé, en se montrant infidèles à mon égard.
28 Je les ai conduits dans le pays que j’avais juré de leur donner, et ils ont jeté les yeux sur toute colline élevée et sur tout arbre touffu; là ils ont fait leurs sacrifices, ils ont présenté leurs offrandes qui m’irritaient, ils ont brûlé leurs parfums d’une agréable odeur, et ils ont répandu leurs libations.
29 Je leur dis: Qu’est-ce que ces hauts lieux où vous vous rendez? Et le nom de hauts lieux leur a été donné jusqu’à ce jour.
30 C’est pourquoi dis à la maison d’Israël: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Ne vous souillez-vous pas à la manière de vos pères, et ne vous prostituez-vous pas à leurs abominations?
