Nehemiah 9:8 in Context — Nehemiah 9

6 C’est toi, Éternel, toi seul, qui as fait les cieux, les cieux des cieux et toute leur armée, la terre et tout ce qui est sur elle, les mers et tout ce qu’elles renferment. Tu donnes la vie à toutes ces choses, et l’armée des cieux se prosterne devant toi.

7 C’est toi, Éternel Dieu, qui as choisi Abram, qui l’as fait sortir d’Ur en Chaldée, et qui lui as donné le nom d’Abraham.

8 Tu trouvas son cœur fidèle devant toi, tu fis alliance avec lui, et tu promis de donner à sa postérité le pays des Cananéens, des Héthiens, des Amoréens, des Phéréziens, des Jébusiens et des Guirgasiens. Et tu as tenu ta parole, car tu es juste.

9 Tu vis l’affliction de nos pères en Égypte, et tu entendis leurs cris vers la mer Rouge.

10 Tu opéras des miracles et des prodiges contre Pharaon, contre tous ses serviteurs et contre tout le peuple de son pays, parce que tu savais avec quelle méchanceté ils avaient traité nos pères, et tu fis paraître ta gloire comme elle paraît aujourd’hui.
