Listen to Ezekiel 11:4
4 C'est pourquoi prophétise contre eux, prophétise, fils de l'homme!

Ezekiel 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:4

Therefore prophesy against them
Evil things against them, things that are disagreeable to them; since they flatter themselves with good things, and cry peace and safety, let them know that destruction is coming upon them: or, "concerning them" F6; what will befall them, and that it will be otherwise with them than they imagine: prophesy, O son of man;
this is repeated, not only to stir up the prophet to the performance of his work and office, not fearing the faces, and revilings, and mockings of men; but to show the indignation of the Lord at their scoffs and jeers, and the certain accomplishment of what should be predicted.

Ezekiel 11:4 In-Context

2 Et l'Éternel me dit: Fils de l'homme, ce sont là les hommes qui ont des pensées d'iniquité, et qui donnent de mauvais conseils dans cette ville.
3 Ils disent: Ce n'est pas l'heure de bâtir des maisons; cette ville, c'est la chaudière, et nous la viande.
4 C'est pourquoi prophétise contre eux, prophétise, fils de l'homme!
5 Et l'Esprit de l'Éternel tomba sur moi, et me dit: Parle; ainsi a dit l'Éternel: Vous parlez de la sorte, maison d'Israël, et ce qui vous monte à l'esprit, je le sais.
6 Vous avez multiplié les meurtres dans cette ville, et vous avez rempli ses rues de cadavres.
