Ezekiel 20:3 in Context — Ezekiel 20
1 La septième année, le dixième jour du cinquième mois, quelques-uns des anciens d’Israël vinrent pour consulter l’Éternel, et s’assirent devant moi.
2 Et la parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
3 Fils de l’homme, parle aux anciens d’Israël, et dis-leur: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Est-ce pour me consulter que vous êtes venus? Je suis vivant! Je ne me laisserai pas consulter par vous, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.
4 Veux-tu les juger, veux-tu les juger, fils de l’homme? Fais-leur connaître les abominations de leurs pères!
5 Tu leur diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Le jour où j’ai choisi Israël, j’ai levé ma main vers la postérité de la maison de Jacob, et je me suis fait connaître à eux dans le pays d’Égypte; j’ai levé ma main vers eux, en disant: Je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu.
