1 Samuel 3:16 in Context — 1 Samuel 3

14 C’est pourquoi je jure à la maison d’Éli que jamais le crime de la maison d’Éli ne sera expié, ni par des sacrifices ni par des offrandes.

15 Samuel resta couché jusqu’au matin, puis il ouvrit les portes de la maison de l’Éternel. Samuel craignait de raconter la vision à Éli.

16 Mais Éli appela Samuel, et dit: Samuel, mon fils! Il répondit: Me voici!

17 Et Éli dit: Quelle est la parole que t’a adressée l’Éternel? Ne me cache rien. Que Dieu te traite dans toute sa rigueur, si tu me caches quelque chose de tout ce qu’il t’a dit!

18 Samuel lui raconta tout, sans lui rien cacher. Et Éli dit: C’est l’Éternel, qu’il fasse ce qui lui semblera bon!
