Ézéchiel 16:52

Louis Segond

Toi qui condamnais tes soeurs, supporte ton opprobre, à cause de tes péchés par lesquels tu t'es rendue plus abominable qu'elles, et qui les font paraître plus justes que toi; sois confuse, et supporte ton opprobre, puisque tu as justifié tes soeurs.

Parallel Translations

La Bible David Martin (1744)
C'est pourquoi aussi porte ta confusion, toi qui as jugé chacune de tes sœurs, à cause de tes péchés, par lesquels tu as été rendue plus abominable qu'elles; elles sont plus justes que toi; c'est pourquoi aussi sois honteuse, et porte ta confusion, vu que tu as justifié tes sœurs.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Porte donc, toi aussi, l'opprobre que tu as infligé à tes sœurs! A cause de tes péchés que tu as rendus plus abominables que les leurs, elles se trouvent être plus justes que toi. Sois donc, toi aussi, couverte de confusion, et porte ton opprobre, puisque tu as justifié tes sœurs.

Darby's French Translation
Toi aussi, toi qui a jugé tes soeurs, porte ta confusion à cause de tes péchés, par lesquels tu as agi plus abominablement qu'elles; elles sont plus justes que toi. Et toi aussi, sois honteuse et porte ta confusion, parce que tu as justifié tes soeurs.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou also which hast judged thy sisters,.... Sodom and Samaria, by censuring and condemning them for their sins; see

2 Chronicles 13:8; in which sense Jarchi and Kimchi interpret the word; or by defending and patronizing them, acquitting and absolving them, by committing the same sins, and more heinous ones:

bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they; look upon thy sins, and blush at them; confess them with shame and confusion of face; take shame to thyself for them, in that thou hast censured and condemned these sins in others thou hast been guilty of thyself; and the rather, since thy sins are greater, and attended with more aggravating circumstances, than those thou hast blamed in others; or this is a prophecy of their punishment for their sins, when they should be carried captive, and be put to shame before their neighbours: or, "thou shalt bear" d; shame is the fruit of sin, sooner or later:

they are more righteous than thou; in comparison of her; though neither of them were righteous in the sight of God, yet comparatively one was more righteous than another, having committed fewer sins, and lesser abominations:

yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters; this is repeated in stronger expressions, and with the reasons of it, to show the great confusion they should be brought unto, and the certainty of it, the more to strike and affect their minds with it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 52. They are more righteous than thou — תצדקנה ממך tetsuddaknah mimmech, "They shall be justified more than thou." They are less guilty in the sight of God, for their crimes were not accompanied with so many aggravations. This phrase casts light on Luke 18:14: "This man went down to his house justified rather than the other." Less blame in the sight of God was attached to him. He always had fewer advantages, and now he was a true penitent; while the other was boasting of what he had done, and what he had not done.
