1 Samuel 2:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 2
7 L’Éternel appauvrit et il enrichit, Il abaisse et il élève.
8 De la poussière il retire le pauvre, Du fumier il relève l’indigent, Pour les faire asseoir avec les grands. Et il leur donne en partage un trône de gloire; Car à l’Éternel sont les colonnes de la terre, Et c’est sur elles qu’il a posé le monde.
9 Il gardera les pas de ses bien-aimés. Mais les méchants seront anéantis dans les ténèbres; Car l’homme ne triomphera point par la force.
10 Les ennemis de l’Éternel trembleront; Du haut des cieux il lancera sur eux son tonnerre; L’Éternel jugera les extrémités de la terre. Il donnera la puissance à son roi, Et il relèvera la force de son oint.
11 Elkana s’en alla dans sa maison à Rama, et l’enfant fut au service de l’Éternel devant le sacrificateur Éli.
