Ezekiel 8:18

French (La Sainte Bible par Louis Segond 1910)

Moi aussi, j'agirai avec fureur; mon oeil sera sans pitié, et je n'aurai point de miséricorde; quand ils crieront à haute voix à mes oreilles, je ne les écouterai pas.

Que signifie ce verset ?

This verse is God speaking through the prophet Ezekiel, saying that He will act in anger and won't show mercy or pity, even if people beg Him loudly. God is warning the Israelites about the consequences of their actions.

Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine you have a friend who keeps breaking your favorite toy no matter how many times you ask them to stop. One day, you decide that you won't fix it again even if they cry and beg. That's kind of like what God is saying here.
