2 Chronicles 7:16 in Context — 2 Chronicles 7
14 si mon peuple sur qui est invoqué mon nom s’humilie, prie, et cherche ma face, et s’il se détourne de ses mauvaises voies, je l’exaucerai des cieux, je lui pardonnerai son péché, et je guérirai son pays.
15 Mes yeux seront ouverts désormais, et mes oreilles seront attentives à la prière faite en ce lieu.
16 Maintenant, je choisis et je sanctifie cette maison pour que mon nom y réside à jamais, et j’aurai toujours là mes yeux et mon cœur.
17 Et toi, si tu marches en ma présence comme a marché David, ton père, faisant tout ce que je t’ai commandé, et si tu observes mes lois et mes ordonnances,
18 j’affermirai le trône de ton royaume, comme je l’ai promis à David, ton père, en disant: Tu ne manqueras jamais d’un successeur qui règne en Israël.
