2 Kings 22:19 in Context — 2 Kings 22

17 Parce qu’ils m’ont abandonné et qu’ils ont offert des parfums à d’autres dieux, afin de m’irriter par tous les ouvrages de leurs mains, ma colère s’est enflammée contre ce lieu, et elle ne s’éteindra point.

18 Mais vous direz au roi de Juda, qui vous a envoyés pour consulter l’Éternel: Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, au sujet des paroles que tu as entendues:

19 Parce que ton cœur a été touché, parce que tu t’es humilié devant l’Éternel en entendant ce que j’ai prononcé contre ce lieu et contre ses habitants, qui seront un objet d’épouvante et de malédiction, et parce que tu as déchiré tes vêtements et que tu as pleuré devant moi, moi aussi, j’ai entendu, dit l’Éternel.

20 C’est pourquoi, voici, je te recueillerai auprès de tes pères, tu seras recueilli en paix dans ton sépulcre, et tes yeux ne verront pas tous les malheurs que je ferai venir sur ce lieu. Ils rapportèrent au roi cette réponse.
