2 Chroniques 30:8

Ne raidissez donc pas votre cou, comme vos pères; donnez la main à l'Eternel, venez à son sanctuaire qu'il a sanctifié pour toujours, et servez l'Eternel, votre Dieu, pour que sa colère ardente se détourne de vous.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Maintenant, ne roidissez pas votre cou, comme vos pères; tendez la main vers l'Éternel, venez à son sanctuaire, qu'il a consacré pour toujours, servez l'Éternel, votre Dieu, et l'ardeur de sa colère se détournera de vous.
Darby's French Translation
Maintenant ne roidissez pas votre cou, comme vos pères; donnez la main à l'Éternel, et venez à son sanctuaire qu'il a sanctifié pour toujours, et servez l'Éternel, votre Dieu, afin que l'ardeur de sa colère se détourne de vous.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Maintenant ne roidissez point votre cou, comme ont fait vos pères; tendez les mains vers l'Eternel, et venez à son Sanctuaire, qu'il a sanctifié pour toujours, et servez l'Eternel votre Dieu; et l'ardeur de sa colère se détournera de vous.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were,.... Obstinate and refractory, like heifers unaccustomed to the yoke, which draw back from it, and will not submit to it:

but yield yourselves unto the Lord; be subject unto him, or "give the hand" q to him, as a token of subjection and homage, or of entering into covenant with him, promising for the future to serve and obey him:

and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever; set apart for worship and service, until the Messiah should come:

and serve the Lord your God; there, in the temple, according to his prescribed will:

that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you; which had already broke out, in suffering the Assyrians to invade their land, and distress them.
