2 Chronicles 6:18 in Context — 2 Chronicles 6
16 Maintenant, Éternel, Dieu d’Israël, observe la promesse que tu as faite à David, mon père, en disant: Tu ne manqueras jamais devant moi d’un successeur assis sur le trône d’Israël, pourvu que tes fils prennent garde à leur voie et qu’ils marchent dans ma loi comme tu as marché en ma présence.
17 Qu’elle s’accomplisse donc, Éternel, Dieu d’Israël, la promesse que tu as faite à ton serviteur David!
18 Mais quoi! Dieu habiterait-il véritablement avec l’homme sur la terre? Voici, les cieux et les cieux des cieux ne peuvent te contenir: combien moins cette maison que j’ai bâtie!
19 Toutefois, Éternel mon Dieu, sois attentif à la prière de ton serviteur et à sa supplication; écoute le cri et la prière que t’adresse ton serviteur.
20 Que tes yeux soient jour et nuit ouverts sur cette maison, sur le lieu dont tu as dit que là serait ton nom! Écoute la prière que ton serviteur fait en ce lieu.
