1 Kings 8:47 in Context — 1 Kings 8
45 exauce des cieux leurs prières et leurs supplications, et fais-leur droit!
46 Quand ils pécheront contre toi, car il n’y a point d’homme qui ne pèche, quand tu seras irrité contre eux et que tu les livreras à l’ennemi, qui les emmènera captifs dans un pays ennemi, lointain ou rapproché;
47 s’ils rentrent en eux-mêmes dans le pays où ils seront captifs, s’ils reviennent à toi et t’adressent des supplications dans le pays de ceux qui les ont emmenés, et qu’ils disent: Nous avons péché, nous avons commis des iniquités, nous avons fait le mal!
48 s’ils reviennent à toi de tout leur cœur et de toute leur âme, dans le pays de leurs ennemis qui les ont emmenés captifs, s’ils t’adressent des prières, les regards tournés vers leur pays que tu as donné à leurs pères, vers la ville que tu as choisie et vers la maison que j’ai bâtie à ton nom,
49 exauce des cieux, du lieu de ta demeure, leurs prières et leurs supplications, et fais-leur droit;
