1 Kings 19:10 in Context — 1 Kings 19

8 Il se leva, mangea et but; et avec la force que lui donna cette nourriture, il marcha quarante jours et quarante nuits jusqu’à la montagne de Dieu, à Horeb.

9 Et là, il entra dans la caverne, et il y passa la nuit. Et voici, la parole de l’Éternel lui fut adressée, en ces mots: Que fais-tu ici, Élie?

10 Il répondit: J’ai déployé mon zèle pour l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées; car les enfants d’Israël ont abandonné ton alliance, ils ont renversé tes autels, et ils ont tué par l’épée tes prophètes; je suis resté, moi seul, et ils cherchent à m’ôter la vie.

11 L’Éternel dit: Sors, et tiens-toi dans la montagne devant l’Éternel! Et voici, l’Éternel passa. Et devant l’Éternel, il y eut un vent fort et violent qui déchirait les montagnes et brisait les rochers: l’Éternel n’était pas dans le vent. Et après le vent, ce fut un tremblement de terre: l’Éternel n’était pas dans le tremblement de terre.

12 Et après le tremblement de terre, un feu: l’Éternel n’était pas dans le feu. Et après le feu, un murmure doux et léger.
