1 Samuel 2:28 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

26 Le jeune Samuel continuait à grandir, et il était agréable à l’Éternel et aux hommes.

27 Un homme de Dieu vint auprès d’Éli, et lui dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Ne me suis-je pas révélé à la maison de ton père, lorsqu’ils étaient en Égypte dans la maison de Pharaon?

28 Je l’ai choisie parmi toutes les tribus d’Israël pour être à mon service dans le sacerdoce, pour monter à mon autel, pour brûler le parfum, pour porter l’éphod devant moi, et j’ai donné à la maison de ton père tous les sacrifices consumés par le feu et offerts par les enfants d’Israël.

29 Pourquoi foulez-vous aux pieds mes sacrifices et mes offrandes, que j’ai ordonné de faire dans ma demeure? Et d’où vient que tu honores tes fils plus que moi, afin de vous engraisser des prémices de toutes les offrandes d’Israël, mon peuple?

30 C’est pourquoi voici ce que dit l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël: J’avais déclaré que ta maison et la maison de ton père marcheraient devant moi à perpétuité. Et maintenant, dit l’Éternel, loin de moi! Car j’honorerai celui qui m’honore, mais ceux qui me méprisent seront méprisés.
