Ézéchiel 16:49

La Bible David Martin

Voici, ç'a été ici l'iniquité de Sodome ta sœur, l'orgueil, l'abondance de pain, et une molle oisiveté; elle a eu de quoi, elle et les villes de son ressort, mais elle n'a point assisté l'affligé, et le pauvre.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Voici quelle a été l'iniquité de Sodome, ta sœur: l'orgueil, l'abondance et une molle oisiveté; voilà ce qu'elle avait, elle et ses filles; mais elle ne soutenait pas la main de l'affligé et du pauvre.

Darby's French Translation
Voici, c'est ici l'iniquité de ta soeur Sodome: orgueil, abondance de pain et insouciant repos, elle les a possédés, elle et ses filles; mais elle n'a pas fortifié la main de l'affligé et du pauvre.

Louis Segond (1910)
Voici quel a été le crime de Sodome, ta soeur. Elle avait de l'orgueil, elle vivait dans l'abondance et dans une insouciante sécurité, elle et ses filles, et elle ne soutenait pas la main du malheureux et de l'indigent.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,.... Namely, the first after mentioned, the source and spring of the rest; the causes and means of which are declared; and the same, as is suggested, was the sin of Jerusalem: namely,

pride; which was the sin of the devils, and the cause of their ruin; the sin of our first parents, by which they fell, and destroyed themselves, and their posterity; and is the prevailing, governing, sin of human nature: it has been the ruin of kingdoms and states, of cities and particular persons; a sin hateful to God, and destructive to man:

fulness of bread; the land of Sodom was very fruitful before it was destroyed; it was like the garden of the Lord, Genesis 13:10; it brought forth plentifully, so that there was great fulness of provision, of all sorts of food, which is meant by bread: this, considered in itself, was not sinful, but a blessing; it was the Lord's mercy and goodness to them that they had such plenty; but it was their sin that they abused it; luxury and intemperance, eating and drinking to excess, are here meant; which led on to that sin, and kindled the flames of it, and were the fuel to it, which has its name from them; and, besides, this fulness of good things enjoyed by them was the source of their pride, and served to increase that, as before mentioned:

and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters; or, "peace of rest" b; prosperity and ease, security and quietness, at leisure, and without labour; two words are used to express the same thing, and to denote, as Kimchi observes, the abundance of it: sloth and idleness, as they often arise from the goodness and fruitfulness of a country, said fulness of provision, so they are the cause of much sin and wickedness; for, if persons are not employed in some business or another, either of the head or hand, they will be doing evil:

neither did she strengthen the hands of the poor and needy; though she had such abundance of food to supply them with, and so much leisure to attend to their distress; but her pride would not suffer her to do it; and she was too idle and slothful to regard such service; perhaps more is intended than is expressed; that she weakened the hands of the poor and needy, and cruelly oppressed them; which is often done by proud men, in great affluence and at leisure, which they abuse to bad purposes.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 49. This was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom — If we are to take this place literally, Sodom was guilty of other crimes besides that for which she appears to have been especially punished; in addition to her unnatural crime, She is charged with pride, luxury, idleness, and uncharitableness; and these were sufficient to sink any city to the bottomless pit.
