Ezekiel 36:15

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'Eternel.

Ezekiel 36:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:15

Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the
Heathen any more
Their calumnies and revilings, their scoffs and jeers: neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more;
or be any more a taunt and a curse, a proverb and a byword of the people; or be their laughing stock, and the object of their derision: neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord
God;
by famine, sword, or pestilence, or any other judgment caused by sin: or, "thou shalt not bereave" ^F12, as the marginal reading is; and which the Targum and many versions follow: now what is here promised, in this and the preceding verse, had not its full accomplishment upon the Jews' return from the Babylonish captivity; for since that time their men have been devoured, and their tribes have been bereaved of them by famine, sword, and pestilence; and they have heard and bore the shame and reproach of the nations where they have been dispersed, and do to this day; wherefore these prophecies must refer to a future restoration of that people.

Ezekiel 36:15 In-Context

13 Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Parce qu'on vous dit: Tu as dévoré des hommes, Tu as détruit ta propre nation,

14 A cause de cela tu ne dévoreras plus d'hommes, Tu ne détruiras plus ta nation, Dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.

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'Eternel.

16 La parole de l'Eternel 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 oeuvres; leur conduite a été devant moi comme la souillure d'une femme pendant son impureté.
