Zechariah 11:6

French Bible (BBB) Bible Bovet Bonnet (1900)

Car je n'épargnerai plus les habitants du pays, dit l'Eternel; voici je livrerai les hommes chacun à son prochain et à son roi; ils écraseront le pays, et je ne délivrerai plus de leurs mains.

Que signifie ce verset ?

This verse from Zechariah says that God will no longer pity the people of the land and will let them fall into each other's hands, and into the hand of their king, where they will suffer without being rescued by God.

Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine a playground where kids used to look out for each other. Now, one day, a teacher says no one is going to help if you get into trouble. Instead, the bigger kids might take things from the smaller ones or make them cry, and there won't be anyone stopping that.

Contexte historique

Zechariah was a prophet who spoke around 520-518 BCE when the Israelites were returning to Jerusalem after their Babylonian exile. This verse reflects the judgment of God upon those who have not repented despite previous warnings and opportunities for redemption.

Application pour aujourd'hui

In modern times, this could be like a community where people stop looking out for each other or even take advantage of one another when no longer protected by external rules or help from authorities.
