Ezekiel 38:12 in Context — Ezekiel 38
10 Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: En ce jour-là, des pensées s’élèveront dans ton cœur, Et tu formeras de mauvais desseins.
11 Tu diras: Je monterai contre un pays ouvert, Je fondrai sur des hommes tranquilles, En sécurité dans leurs demeures, Tous dans des habitations sans murailles, Et n’ayant ni verrous ni portes;
12 J’irai faire du butin et me livrer au pillage, Porter la main sur des ruines maintenant habitées, Sur un peuple recueilli du milieu des nations, Ayant des troupeaux et des propriétés, Et occupant les lieux élevés du pays.
13 Séba et Dedan, les marchands de Tarsis, Et tous leurs lionceaux, te diront: Viens-tu pour faire du butin? Est-ce pour piller que tu as rassemblé ta multitude, Pour emporter de l’argent et de l’or, Pour prendre des troupeaux et des biens, Pour faire un grand butin?
14 C’est pourquoi prophétise, fils de l’homme, et dis à Gog: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Oui, le jour où mon peuple d’Israël vivra en sécurité, Tu le sauras.
