Description
Abner. Oui, je viens dans son temple adorer l'eternel. Je viens, selon l'usage antique et solennel, celebrer avec vous la fameuse journee ou sur le mont Sina la loi nous fut donnee. Que les temps sont changes ! Sitot que de ce jour la trompette sacree annoncoit le retour, du temple, orne partout de festons magnifiques, le peuple saint en foule inondoit les portiques ; et tous devant l'autel avec ordre introduits, de leurs champs dans leurs mains portant les nouveaux fruits, au Dieu de l'univers consacroient ces premices. Les pretres ne pouvoient suffire aux sacrifices. L'audace d'une femme, arretant ce concours, en des jours tenebreux a change ces beaux jours. D'adorateurs zeles a peine un petit nombre ose des premiers temps nous retracer quelque ombre. Le reste pour son Dieu montre un oubli fatal, ou meme, s'empressant aux autels de Baal, se fait initier a ses honteux mysteres, et blaspheme le nom qu'ont invoque leurs peres. Je tremble qu'Athalie, a ne vous rien cacher, vous-meme de l'autel vous faisant arracher, n'acheve enfin sur vous ses vengeances funestes, et d'un respect force ne depouille les restes.
