Hosea 10:12 in Context — Hosea 10

10 Je les châtierai à mon gré, Et des peuples s’assembleront contre eux, Quand on les enchaînera pour leur double iniquité.

11 Éphraïm est une génisse dressée, et qui aime à fouler le grain, Mais je m’approcherai de son beau cou; J’attellerai Éphraïm, Juda labourera, Jacob hersera.

12 Semez selon la justice, moissonnez selon la miséricorde, Défrichez-vous un champ nouveau! Il est temps de chercher l’Éternel, Jusqu’à ce qu’il vienne, et répande pour vous la justice.

13 Vous avez cultivé le mal, moissonné l’iniquité, Mangé le fruit du mensonge; Car tu as eu confiance dans ta voie, Dans le nombre de tes vaillants hommes.

14 Il s’élèvera un tumulte parmi ton peuple, Et toutes tes forteresses seront détruites, Comme fut détruite Schalman Beth-Arbel, Au jour de la guerre, Où la mère fut écrasée avec les enfants.
