Ezekiel 26:6
French (La Bible expliquée)
et décimeront les localités voisines sur la côte. Alors on sera convaincu que je suis le Seigneur. Le principe du talion est aussi appliqué envers Tyr. Parce qu'elle s'est réjouie de la ruine de Jérusalem, la ville de Tyr connaîtra elle-même la ruine. Ses murailles et ses bâtiments seront détruits; la richesse de ce port de commerce sera anéantie et sa population décimée.

Explained for Children
Imagine a big playground where the kids are safe, but suddenly, the bullies come and hurt the kids playing outside. This makes everyone realize that there's a bigger, stronger person watching over them and taking action.
Historical Background
Ezekiel, the prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE. The audience was the exiled Israelites and the surrounding nations, including Tyre. The cultural setting was one of political upheaval and divine judgment.
Living It Out Today
In today's context, imagine a community where people ignore the consequences of their actions, and a tragedy occurs. Through this, they learn to respect the authority of their leaders and the importance of following the right path.
