Ezekiel 3:5 in Context — Ezekiel 3

3 Il me dit: Fils de l’homme, nourris ton ventre et remplis tes entrailles de ce rouleau que je te donne! Je le mangeai, et il fut dans ma bouche doux comme du miel.

4 Il me dit: Fils de l’homme, va vers la maison d’Israël, et dis-leur mes paroles!

5 Car ce n’est point vers un peuple ayant un langage obscur, une langue inintelligible, que tu es envoyé; c’est à la maison d’Israël.

6 Ce n’est point vers de nombreux peuples ayant un langage obscur, une langue inintelligible, dont tu ne comprends pas les discours. Si je t’envoyais vers eux, ils t’écouteraient.

7 Mais la maison d’Israël ne voudra pas t’écouter, parce qu’elle ne veut pas m’écouter; car toute la maison d’Israël a le front dur et le cœur endurci.
