Ezekiel 3:4 In-Context

5 Car ce n'est point vers un peuple au parler inintelligible et à la langue barbare que je t'envoie, mais vers la maison d'Israël.
6 Ce n'est point vers de nombreux peuples, au parler inintelligible et à la langue barbare, et dont tu ne puisses pas entendre les paroles, que je t'envoie; ceux-là, certes, ils t'écouteraient, si je t'envoyais vers eux.
