2 Kings 6:33 in Context — 2 Kings 6

31 Le roi dit: Que Dieu me punisse dans toute sa rigueur, si la tête d’Élisée, fils de Schaphath, reste aujourd’hui sur lui!

32 Or Élisée était assis dans sa maison, et les anciens étaient assis auprès de lui. Le roi envoya quelqu’un devant lui. Mais avant que le messager soit arrivé, Élisée dit aux anciens: Voyez-vous que ce fils d’assassin envoie quelqu’un pour m’ôter la tête? Écoutez! Quand le messager viendra, fermez la porte, et repoussez-le avec la porte: le bruit des pas de son maître ne se fait-il pas entendre derrière lui?

33 Il leur parlait encore, et déjà le messager était descendu vers lui, et disait: Voici, ce mal vient de l’Éternel; qu’ai-je à espérer encore de l’Éternel?
