Judges 9:16 in Context — Judges 9

14 Alors tous les arbres dirent au buisson d’épines: Viens, toi, règne sur nous.

15 Et le buisson d’épines répondit aux arbres: Si c’est de bonne foi que vous voulez m’oindre pour votre roi, venez, réfugiez-vous sous mon ombrage; sinon, un feu sortira du buisson d’épines, et dévorera les cèdres du Liban.

16 Maintenant, est-ce de bonne foi et avec intégrité que vous avez agi en proclamant roi Abimélec? Avez-vous eu de la bienveillance pour Jerubbaal et sa maison? L’avez-vous traité selon les services qu’il a rendus?

17 Car mon père a combattu pour vous, il a exposé sa vie, et il vous a délivrés de la main de Madian;

18 et vous, vous vous êtes levés contre la maison de mon père, vous avez tué ses fils, soixante-dix hommes, sur une même pierre, et vous avez proclamé roi sur les habitants de Sichem, Abimélec, fils de sa servante, parce qu’il est votre frère.
