Ezekiel 20:31 in Context — Ezekiel 20

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?

31 En présentant vos offrandes, en faisant passer vos enfants par le feu, vous vous souillez encore aujourd’hui par toutes vos idoles. Et moi, je me laisserais consulter par vous, maison d’Israël! Je suis vivant! Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, je ne me laisserai pas consulter par vous.

32 On ne verra pas s’accomplir ce que vous imaginez, quand vous dites: Nous voulons être comme les nations, comme les familles des autres pays, nous voulons servir le bois et la pierre.

33 Je suis vivant! Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, je régnerai sur vous, à main forte et à bras étendu, et en répandant ma fureur.
