1 Kings 8:50 in Context — 1 Kings 8

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;

50 pardonne à ton peuple ses péchés et toutes ses transgressions contre toi; excite la compassion de ceux qui les retiennent captifs, afin qu’ils aient pitié d’eux,

51 car ils sont ton peuple et ton héritage, et tu les as fait sortir d’Égypte, du milieu d’une fournaise de fer!

52 Que tes yeux soient ouverts sur la supplication de ton serviteur et sur la supplication de ton peuple d’Israël, pour les exaucer en tout ce qu’ils te demanderont!
