et mon pain que je t'avais donné, le pur froment, l'huile et le miel dont je t'avais nourrie, tu mis tout cela devant elles en offrandes d'agréable odeur. Cela s'est fait ! dit le Seigneur l'Eternel.

In this verse, God is speaking to Jerusalem, saying that He provided all the good things like fine flour, oil, and honey to feed them, but they used these gifts to worship other gods instead. This shows God's disappointment.
Expliqué aux enfants
Imagine your mom gave you a yummy sandwich, but instead of eating it, you used it to make a silly face for your toys. That's kind of what Jerusalem did with God's gifts. God gave them good things, but they used them to worship other gods instead.
Contexte historique
Ezekiel wrote this around 593-571 BCE, while in exile in Babylon. He was speaking to the people of Jerusalem who had forgotten God and started worshiping other gods, showing how they misused the gifts God had provided.
Application pour aujourd'hui
Today, we might think about how we use the gifts and resources God has given us. Are we using them to honor God, or are we using them for other things that take away from our relationship with Him? This could be our time, money, or talents.
