Hebrews 12:17 in Context — Hebrews 12
15 Veillez à ce que nul ne se prive de la grâce de Dieu; à ce qu’aucune racine d’amertume, poussant des rejetons, ne produise du trouble, et que plusieurs n’en soient infectés;
16 à ce qu’il n’y ait ni impudique, ni profane comme Ésaü, qui pour un mets vendit son droit d’aînesse.
17 Vous savez que, plus tard, voulant obtenir la bénédiction, il fut rejeté, quoiqu’il la sollicitât avec larmes; car son repentir ne put avoir aucun effet.
18 Vous ne vous êtes pas approchés d’une montagne qu’on pouvait toucher et qui était embrasée par le feu, ni de la nuée, ni des ténèbres, ni de la tempête,
19 ni du retentissement de la trompette, ni du bruit des paroles, tel que ceux qui l’entendirent demandèrent qu’il ne leur en fût adressé aucune de plus,
