Ezekiel 33:31 in Context — Ezekiel 33

29 Et ils sauront que je suis l’Éternel, quand je réduirai le pays en solitude et en désert, à cause de toutes les abominations qu’ils ont commises.

30 Et toi, fils de l’homme, les enfants de ton peuple s’entretiennent de toi près des murs et aux portes des maisons, et ils se disent l’un à l’autre, chacun à son frère: Venez donc, et écoutez quelle est la parole qui est procédée de l’Éternel!

31 Et ils se rendent en foule auprès de toi, et mon peuple s’assied devant toi; ils écoutent tes paroles, mais ils ne les mettent point en pratique, car leur bouche en fait un sujet de moquerie, et leur cœur se livre à la cupidité.

32 Voici, tu es pour eux comme un chanteur agréable, possédant une belle voix, et habile dans la musique. Ils écoutent tes paroles, mais ils ne les mettent point en pratique.

33 Quand ces choses arriveront, et voici, elles arrivent! Ils sauront qu’il y avait un prophète au milieu d’eux.
