Ezekiel 22:3 in Context — Ezekiel 22

1 La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:

2 Et toi, fils de l’homme, jugeras-tu, jugeras-tu la ville sanguinaire? Fais-lui connaître toutes ses abominations!

3 Tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Ville qui répands le sang au milieu de toi, pour que ton jour arrive, et qui te fais des idoles pour te souiller!

4 Tu es coupable à cause du sang que tu as répandu, et tu t’es souillée par les idoles que tu as faites. Tu as ainsi avancé tes jours, et tu es parvenue au terme de tes années. C’est pourquoi je te rends un objet d’opprobre pour les nations et de moquerie pour tous les pays.

5 Ceux qui sont près et ceux qui sont au loin se moqueront de toi, qui es souillée de réputation et pleine de trouble.
