Deuteronomy 9:28 in Context — Deuteronomy 9

26 Je priai l’Éternel, et je dis: Seigneur Éternel, ne détruis pas ton peuple, ton héritage, que tu as racheté dans ta grandeur, que tu as fait sortir d’Égypte par ta main puissante.

27 Souviens-toi de tes serviteurs, Abraham, Isaac et Jacob. Ne regarde point à l’opiniâtreté de ce peuple, à sa méchanceté et à son péché,

28 de peur que le pays d’où tu nous as fait sortir ne dise: C’est parce que l’Éternel n’avait pas le pouvoir de les mener dans le pays qu’il leur avait promis, et c’est parce qu’il les haïssait, qu’il les a fait sortir pour les faire mourir dans le désert.

29 Ils sont pourtant ton peuple et ton héritage, que tu as fait sortir d’Égypte par ta grande puissance et par ton bras étendu.
