Amos 4:2 in Context — Amos 4
1 Écoutez cette parole, génisses de Basan qui êtes sur la montagne de Samarie, Vous qui opprimez les misérables, qui écrasez les indigents, Et qui dites à vos maris: Apportez, et buvons!
2 Le Seigneur, l’Éternel, l’a juré par sa sainteté: Voici, les jours viendront pour vous Où l’on vous enlèvera avec des crochets, Et votre postérité avec des hameçons;
3 Vous sortirez par les brèches, chacune devant soi, Et vous serez jetées dans la forteresse, dit l’Éternel.
4 Allez à Béthel, et péchez! Allez à Guilgal, et péchez davantage! Offrez vos sacrifices chaque matin, Et vos dîmes tous les trois jours!
