3
You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
23
You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
30
take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, "How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise."
31
You shall not do so to Yahweh your God: for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.
12
"Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
13
You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels: let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you.
14
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
32
and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
25
There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26
men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28
But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."
La voie des nations : leur manière d'adorer la divinité.
Les signes du ciel. Les Chaldéens confondaient les astres avec les divinités elles-mêmes qu'ils adoraient ; ils attribuaient par conséquent aux phénomènes célestes (éclipses, conjonctions, comètes, etc.) une influence décisive sur la marche heureuse ou malheureuse des événements. Le prophète désire affranchir les Israélites de la crainte superstitieuse qui était l'âme d'une telle religion. Ils doivent apprendre à ne se sentir dépendants que de l'Eternel seul. Sans doute, certains passages des prophètes annonçaient que le jugement final serait précédé de signes dans le ciel (Joël 2.24-32). Mais autre chose est d'attendre sur la foi de la prophétie les grandes crises qui doivent mettre fin à l'économie actuelle, et autre chose de consulter les phénomènes de la nature pour en tirer des présages.
