Ezekiel 17:21

French (La Sainte Bible par Louis Segond 1910)

Tous les fuyards de toutes ses troupes tomberont par l'épée, et ceux qui resteront seront dispersés à tous les vents. Et vous saurez que moi, l'Eternel, j'ai parlé.

Que signifie ce verset ?

This verse says that when people run away from a battle, they will be killed by their enemies. Those who survive will be scattered everywhere. The speaker is God, saying that this will happen to show that God has spoken the truth.

Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine a schoolyard where kids are playing. If there's a big fight, some kids might run away, but even then, they might get hurt. The ones who don't run away will go different ways. This is like what God is saying will happen, and it shows that God's words come true.

Contexte historique

Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile around 593-571 BCE. The audience was the exiled Israelites, and the message was to show that their defeat was due to their disobedience and that God's predictions would come true.

Application pour aujourd'hui

In modern times, this can be applied to a situation where a company is failing, and its employees scatter to find new jobs. It's a reminder that sometimes, we must face the consequences of our choices, just as God's people faced the consequences of their disobedience.
