Jérusalem était une enfant abandonnée
1 Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;3 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren't salted at all, nor swaddled at all.5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.6 When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.8 Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.9 Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.10 I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.11 I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.12 I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.14 Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.Jérusalem s'est prostituée
15 But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.16 You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;18 and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and [thus] it was, says the Lord Yahweh.20 Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,21 that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through [the fire] to them?22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.23 It has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),24 that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary [food], and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren't satisfied with this.30 How weak is your heart, says the Lord Yahweh, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.32 A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!33 They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.34 You are different from [other] women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.35 Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh:36 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.38 I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.40 They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.41 They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.42 So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.Jérusalem est pire que les autres villes
44 Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use [this] proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.47 Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.48 As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.50 They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.52 You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.53 I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yahweh.59 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.61 Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder [sisters] and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.62 I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh;63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh. -
Jérusalem était une enfant abandonnée
1 L’Eternel m’adressa la parole et me dit :2 —Fils d’homme, fais connaître à Jérusalem ses crimes abominables.3 Dis-lui : « Voici ce que le Seigneur, l’Eternel, déclare à Jérusalem : Par ton origine et ta naissance, tu appartiens à la terre des Cananéens ; ton père était un Amoréen et ta mère une Hittite.4 Au moment de ta naissance, personne n’a coupé ton cordon ombilical, personne ne t’a baignée dans l’eau pour te laver. Tu ne fus ni frottée avec du sel, ni emmaillotée dans des langes.5 Personne n’a jeté sur toi un regard de pitié pour te rendre un seul de ces services. Au jour de ta naissance, on t’a prise en dégoût et tu as été jetée au milieu des champs.6 J’ai passé près de toi et je t’ai aperçue te débattant dans ton sang. Alors je t’ai dit : Il faut que tu vives, même au milieu de ton sang. [Oui, je t’ai dit : Il faut que tu vives au milieu de ton sang. ]7 Je t’ai fait croître comme l’herbe des champs ; tu as grandi et tu t’es développée, tu es devenue très très belle : ta poitrine s’est formée, tes poils ont poussé, mais tu étais toujours complètement nue.8 Quand j’ai repassé près de toi et que je t’ai revue, je me suis aperçu que tu avais atteint l’âge de l’amour. Alors j’ai étendu sur toi le pan de mon manteau et j’ai couvert ta nudité. Je t’ai prêté serment pour conclure une alliance avec toi ; le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare. C’est ainsi que tu es devenue mienne.9 Je t’ai lavée à grande eau pour nettoyer le sang qui te couvrait, puis j’ai enduit ton corps d’huile parfumée.10 Je t’ai habillée d’une robe brodée et je t’ai chaussée de cuir fin. Je t’ai drapée dans du lin fin et je t’ai couverte d’un manteau de soie.11 Je t’ai parée de bijoux : j’ai orné tes poignets de bracelets, et ton cou d’un collier.12 J’ai mis un anneau à ton nez et des boucles à tes oreilles, j’ai posé sur ta tête un magnifique diadème.13 Tu étais parée d’or et d’argent, vêtue de fin lin, de soie et d’étoffes précieuses brodées. Tu te nourrissais de la farine la plus fine, de miel et d’huile. Tu es devenue extrêmement belle et tu es parvenue à la dignité royale.14 Ta renommée s’est répandue parmi les nations à cause de ta beauté qui était parfaite, grâce à la splendeur dont je t’avais parée ; le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare.Jérusalem s'est prostituée
15 « Mais tu t’es confiée en ta beauté, et tu as profité de ta renommée pour te *prostituer, tu as prodigué tes débauches à tous les passants, et tu t’es donnée à eux.16 Tu as pris certains de tes vêtements, tu les as cousus ensemble pour orner tes *hauts-lieux et tu t’es prostituée dessus. Jamais rien de tel ne s’était produit, jamais cela ne se reproduira.17 Tu as pris tes magnifiques bijoux faits de mon or et de mon argent que je t’avais donnés, tu en as fait des statues d’hommes et tu t’es livrée avec elles à la *prostitution.18 Tu as pris tes vêtements brodés pour couvrir tes idoles, et tu leur as offert mon huile et mon *encens.19 Tu as placé devant elles la nourriture que je t’avais donnée, la farine la plus fine, l’huile et le miel dont je t’avais nourrie, tout cela tu l’as présenté en offrandes d’odeur apaisante devant elles. Voilà ce que tu as fait, le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare.20 Tu as même pris tes fils et tes filles que tu m’avais enfantés, et tu les as offerts en sacrifice à ces images pour qu’elles les dévorent, comme s’il n’était pas suffisant de te livrer à la prostitution.21 Tu as égorgé mes fils et tu les as offerts à ces idoles.22 Et durant toutes ces années où tu te livrais à des pratiques abominables et à la prostitution, tu ne t’es pas souvenue du temps de ta jeunesse où tu te débattais toute nue dans ton sang.23 Ensuite, pour couronner toutes ces mauvaises actions — malheur, malheur à toi, le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare —24 tu t’es construit un monticule et tu as aménagé des lieux élevés sur toutes les places.25 Tu les as dressés à chaque carrefour, tu as fait de ta beauté un usage abominable et tu t’es offerte à tous les passants, tu as multiplié tes prostitutions.26 Tu t’es prostituée avec les Egyptiens, tes voisins au grand corps, et tu as multiplié tes prostitutions pour m’irriter.27 Alors je suis intervenu contre toi, je t’ai coupé les vivres et je t’ai livrée au bon plaisir de tes ennemies, les villes philistines, elles-mêmes indignées par ta conduite infâme.28 Mais tu étais insatiable ; tu t’es prostituée avec les Assyriens. Et après t’être prostituée à eux, tu n’avais toujours pas satisfait tes envies.29 Alors tu as multiplié tes prostitutions dans le pays des marchands chaldéens, mais avec ceux-là non plus, tu n’as pas assouvi tes désirs.30 Oh, combien tu es faible, pour avoir commis toutes ces choses comme la plus experte des prostituées, le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare.31 Quand tu bâtissais tes monticules à chaque carrefour, et que tu dressais tes lieux élevés sur toutes les places, tu n’agissais même pas comme une prostituée ordinaire, car toi tu méprisais le salaire.32 Tu as été comme une femme adultère qui accueille d’autres hommes à la place de son mari.33 En effet, toutes les prostituées reçoivent des présents, mais toi, tu as fait des cadeaux à tous tes amants, tu les as achetés pour qu’ils viennent de partout se livrer à la prostitution avec toi.34 Dans ta prostitution, tu as fait le contraire des autres femmes ; toi, tu n’étais même pas sollicitée et c’est toi qui payais tes amants au lieu de recevoir d’eux des présents.35 « C’est pourquoi, *prostituée, écoute la parole de l’Eternel :36 Voici ce que déclare le Seigneur, l’Eternel : Puisque tes trésors ont été dilapidés et que tu as découvert ta nudité au cours de tes prostitutions avec tes amants et avec toutes tes abominables idoles, puisque tu leur as offert en sacrifice le sang de tes enfants,37 à cause de cela, je vais rassembler tous tes amants auxquels tu t’es offerte, tous ceux que tu as aimés, auxquels je joindrai tous ceux que tu as haïs, je les rassemblerai de tous côtés contre toi, je découvrirai ta nudité devant eux pour qu’ils la voient tout entière.38 Je te condamnerai au châtiment des femmes adultères et de celles qui ont commis un meurtre : dans la colère et la fureur de l’amour bafoué, je te le ferai payer de ton sang.39 Je te livrerai au pouvoir de tes amants, ils raseront ton monticule et démoliront tes lieux élevés, ils t’arracheront tes vêtements et s’empareront de tes magnifiques bijoux. Ils te laisseront complètement nue.40 Ils ameuteront la populace contre toi, ils t’assommeront à coups de pierres et te transperceront de leurs épées.41 Ils brûleront tes maisons et, sous les yeux de beaucoup de femmes, ils exécuteront la sentence contre toi. Je mettrai ainsi un terme à tes prostitutions : désormais, tu n’offriras plus de cadeaux à tes amants.42 J’assouvirai ma colère contre toi, et la fureur de mon amour bafoué se détournera de toi ; je garderai le silence et je ne m’irriterai plus.43 Tu ne t’es pas souvenue du temps de ta jeunesse et tu es enragée contre moi pour commettre toutes ces choses. C’est pourquoi, à mon tour, je ferai retomber sur toi ton inconduite, le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare, et tu n’ajouteras plus de nouveaux crimes à toutes les pratiques abominables que tu as commises.Jérusalem est pire que les autres villes
44 « Voici : tous ceux qui aiment citer des proverbes t’appliqueront le dicton : “Telle mère, telle fille !”45 Tu es bien la fille de ta mère qui a pris en dégoût son mari et ses enfants, et tu es bien la sœur de tes sœurs qui ont rejeté leurs maris et leurs enfants. Votre mère était une Hittite et votre père un Amoréen.46 Ta sœur aînée qui habite au nord de toi, c’est Samarie avec ses cités-filles : et ta petite sœur, qui demeure au sud de toi, c’est Sodome avec ses filles.47 Tu ne t’es pas contentée de suivre un peu leur chemin et d’imiter un peu leurs pratiques abominables, mais tu t’es montrée bien pire qu’elles dans toute ta conduite.48 Aussi vrai que je suis vivant, le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare : Sodome, ta sœur, et ses filles, n’ont jamais agi aussi mal que toi et tes filles.49 Voici quel était le crime de Sodome, ta sœur : elle et ses filles étaient devenues orgueilleuses parce qu’elles vivaient dans l’abondance et dans une tranquille insouciance. Elles n’ont pas secouru les pauvres et les malheureux.50 Elles sont devenues hautaines et se sont mises à commettre sous mes yeux des actes abominables. C’est pourquoi je les ai fait disparaître comme tu l’as vu.51 Quant à Samarie, elle n’a pas commis la moitié de tes péchés et tu as accumulé plus d’actions abominables qu’elle ; en comparaison avec toi et tous les actes abominables que tu as commis, tes sœurs paraissent justes.52 Maintenant, c’est ton tour de porter la honte que tu infligeais à tes sœurs, toi qui, par les péchés que tu as commis et qui sont bien plus abominables que les leurs, as fait paraître tes sœurs plus justes que toi. A ton tour de rougir et de porter ta honte, puisque ta conduite a fait paraître tes sœurs justes.53 Aussi je les restaurerai ; je restaurerai Sodome et ses filles, et je restaurerai Samarie et ses filles, et toi, je te restaurerai au milieu d’elles54 pour que tu portes ta honte et que tu rougisses de tout ce que tu as fait. Cela les consolera.55 Ta sœur Sodome et ses filles seront rétablies dans leur état d’autrefois. Samarie et ses filles seront rétablies dans leur état d’autrefois. Toi aussi et tes filles, vous serez rétablies dans votre état d’autrefois.56 Ta sœur Sodome ne sera plus l’objet de tes sarcasmes comme au temps où tu étais orgueilleuse,57 avant que ta perversité ne fût mise à nu. Maintenant, c’est ton tour d’être déshonorée par les filles de la Syrie et toutes celles qui l’entourent, par les filles des Philistins qui te méprisent tout autour de toi.58 Tu portes à présent le poids de tes crimes infâmes et des abominations que tu as commises, l’Eternel le déclare.59 « Car voici ce que déclare le Seigneur, l’Eternel : J’agirai envers toi comme tu as toi-même agi : tu as fait peu de cas du serment et tu as violé l’alliance.60 Cependant moi, je me souviendrai de l’alliance que j’ai conclue avec toi au temps de ta jeunesse, et j’établirai avec toi une alliance éternelle.61 De ton côté, tu te souviendras de ta conduite et tu en auras honte, quand tu accueilleras auprès de toi tes sœurs aînées et cadettes, et je te les donnerai pour filles, sans que cela soit inscrit dans mon alliance avec toi.62 Et j’établirai mon alliance avec toi et tu reconnaîtras que je suis l’Eternel.63 Alors tu te souviendras de ta conduite passée et tu seras saisie de honte, tu seras si confuse que tu n’oseras plus ouvrir la bouche lorsque je te pardonnerai tout ce que tu as fait. Le Seigneur, l’Eternel, le déclare. » -
Jérusalem était une enfant abandonnée
1 Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;3 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren't salted at all, nor swaddled at all.5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.6 When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.8 Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.9 Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.10 I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.11 I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.12 I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.14 Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.Jérusalem s'est prostituée
15 But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.16 You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;18 and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and [thus] it was, says the Lord Yahweh.20 Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,21 that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through [the fire] to them?22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.23 It has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),24 that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary [food], and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren't satisfied with this.30 How weak is your heart, says the Lord Yahweh, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.32 A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!33 They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.34 You are different from [other] women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.35 Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh:36 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.38 I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.40 They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.41 They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.42 So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.Jérusalem est pire que les autres villes
44 Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use [this] proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.47 Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.48 As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.50 They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.52 You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.53 I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yahweh.59 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.61 Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder [sisters] and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.62 I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh;63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.

Ce verset commence la seconde partie du tableau : la description de l'ingratitude d'Israël comblé de pareils bienfaits (versets 15 à 52). Ezéchiel indique d'abord la cause de cette infidélité odieuse.
Tu te confias en ta beauté. Israël s'attribua à lui-même sa supériorité morale sur les autres peuples : il oublia de rendre grâces à celui de qui il tenait les biens temporels et spirituels dont il jouissait ; ce fut le péché qui le conduisit ensuite à l'idolâtrie. Comparez ce qui est dit des païens Romains 1.21-23 : oublier de rendre grâces au Créateur, c'est le sûr moyen d'exagérer le prix qu'on attache à la créature, et d'en venir à l'adorer extérieurement ou moralement.
Tu te prostituas. Le culte des idoles est déjà comparé à une prostitution Exode 34.16.
A tout passant : Ezéchiel appelle ainsi chaque faux dieu adoré, chez les nations avec lesquelles Israël se trouvait en relation ; comparez chapitre 8.
A qui voulait. Littéralement : Que cela soit à lui ! ou : A qui en voudra ! comme si la prostituée parlait ainsi d'elle-même.
