Deuteronomy 6:17 in Context — Deuteronomy 6

15 car l’Éternel, ton Dieu, est un Dieu jaloux au milieu de toi. La colère de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, s’enflammerait contre toi, et il t’exterminerait de dessus la terre.

16 Vous ne tenterez point l’Éternel, votre Dieu, comme vous l’avez tenté à Massa.

17 Mais vous observerez les commandements de l’Éternel, votre Dieu, ses ordonnances et ses lois qu’il vous a prescrites.

18 Tu feras ce qui est droit et ce qui est bien aux yeux de l’Éternel, afin que tu sois heureux, et que tu entres en possession du bon pays que l’Éternel a juré à tes pères de te donner,

19 après qu’il aura chassé tous tes ennemis devant toi, comme l’Éternel l’a dit.
