Ezekiel 3:20 in Context — Ezekiel 3
18 Quand je dirai au méchant: Tu mourras! Si tu ne l’avertis pas, si tu ne parles pas pour détourner le méchant de sa mauvaise voie et pour lui sauver la vie, ce méchant mourra dans son iniquité, et je te redemanderai son sang.
19 Mais si tu avertis le méchant, et qu’il ne se détourne pas de sa méchanceté et de sa mauvaise voie, il mourra dans son iniquité, et toi, tu sauveras ton âme.
20 Si un juste se détourne de sa justice et fait ce qui est mal, je mettrai un piège devant lui, et il mourra; parce que tu ne l’as pas averti, il mourra dans son péché, on ne parlera plus de la justice qu’il a pratiquée, et je te redemanderai son sang.
21 Mais si tu avertis le juste de ne pas pécher, et qu’il ne pèche pas, il vivra, parce qu’il s’est laissé avertir, et toi, tu sauveras ton âme.
22 Là encore la main de l’Éternel fut sur moi, et il me dit: Lève-toi, va dans la vallée, et là je te parlerai.
