Ezekiel 5:16 in Context — Ezekiel 5
14 Je ferai de toi un désert, un sujet d’opprobre parmi les nations qui t’entourent, aux yeux de tous les passants.
15 Tu seras un sujet d’opprobre et de honte, un exemple et un objet d’effroi pour les nations qui t’entourent, quand j’exécuterai contre toi mes jugements, avec colère, avec fureur, et par des châtiments rigoureux, c’est moi, l’Éternel, qui parle,
16 quand je lancerai sur eux les flèches pernicieuses de la famine, qui donnent la mort, et que j’enverrai pour vous détruire; car j’ajouterai la famine à vos maux, je briserai pour vous le bâton du pain.
17 J’enverrai contre vous la famine et les bêtes féroces, qui te priveront d’enfants; la peste et le sang passeront au milieu de toi; je ferai venir l’épée sur toi. C’est moi, l’Éternel, qui parle.
