Ezekiel 12:25

25 Car moi, l'Eternel, je parlerai; Ce que je dirai s'accomplira, Et ne sera plus différé; Oui, de vos jours, famille de rebelles, Je prononcerai une parole et je l'accomplirai, Dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.

Ezekiel 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:25

For I [am] the Lord: I will speak
A sovereign Being, immutable and eternal; who will speak by his prophets what is his mind and will shall be done: and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass;
the word of prophecy delivered out in his nature by the true prophets never fails, but is always accomplished; as that was which respected the siege or Jerusalem, and captivity of the Jews: it shall be no more prolonged:
the judgment threatened shall be inflicted, and that in a very short time: for in your days, O rebellious house;
while they were living; which they hoped would never be, at least not till after their death; whereas, within live or six years after this, all came to pass: will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God of hosts;
not only the prophecy of their ruin should be given out in their days, but accomplished in that time; which they might depend upon, since he who said it is the mighty God, the Lord of armies in heaven and in earth.

Ezekiel 12:25 In-Context

23 C'est pourquoi dis-leur: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Je ferai cesser ces discours moqueurs; On ne les tiendra plus en Israël. Dis-leur, au contraire: Les jours approchent, Et toutes les visions s'accompliront.
24 Car il n'y aura plus de visions vaines, Ni d'oracles trompeurs, Au milieu de la maison d'Israël.
25 Car moi, l'Eternel, je parlerai; Ce que je dirai s'accomplira, Et ne sera plus différé; Oui, de vos jours, famille de rebelles, Je prononcerai une parole et je l'accomplirai, Dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.
26 La parole de l'Eternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
27 Fils de l'homme, voici, la maison d'Israël dit: Les visions qu'il a ne sont pas près de s'accomplir; Il prophétise pour des temps éloignés.
