1 Kings 8:30 in Context — 1 Kings 8

28 Toutefois, Éternel, mon Dieu, sois attentif à la prière de ton serviteur et à sa supplication; écoute le cri et la prière que t’adresse aujourd’hui ton serviteur.

29 Que tes yeux soient nuit et jour ouverts sur cette maison, sur le lieu dont tu as dit: Là sera mon nom! Écoute la prière que ton serviteur fait en ce lieu.

30 Daigne exaucer la supplication de ton serviteur et de ton peuple d’Israël, lorsqu’ils prieront en ce lieu! Exauce du lieu de ta demeure, des cieux, exauce et pardonne!

31 Si quelqu’un pèche contre son prochain et qu’on lui impose un serment pour le faire jurer, et s’il vient jurer devant ton autel, dans cette maison,

32 écoute-le des cieux, agis, et juge tes serviteurs; condamne le coupable, et fais retomber sa conduite sur sa tête; rends justice à l’innocent, et traite-le selon son innocence!
