Ezekiel 36:17 in Context — Ezekiel 36

15 Je ne te ferai plus entendre les outrages des nations, Et tu ne porteras plus l’opprobre des peuples; Tu ne détruiras plus ta nation, Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.

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

17 Fils de l’homme, ceux de la maison d’Israël, quand ils habitaient leur pays, l’ont souillé par leur conduite et par leurs œuvres; leur conduite a été devant moi comme la souillure d’une femme pendant son impureté.

18 Alors j’ai répandu ma fureur sur eux, à cause du sang qu’ils avaient versé dans le pays, et des idoles dont ils l’avaient souillé.

19 Je les ai dispersés parmi les nations, et ils ont été répandus en divers pays; je les ai jugés selon leur conduite et selon leurs œuvres.
