Hosea 11:2 in Context — Hosea 11

1 Quand Israël était jeune, je l’aimais, Et j’appelai mon fils hors d’Égypte.

2 Mais ils se sont éloignés de ceux qui les appelaient; Ils ont sacrifié aux Baals, Et offert de l’encens aux idoles.

3 C’est moi qui guidai les pas d’Éphraïm, Le soutenant par ses bras; Et ils n’ont pas vu que je les guérissais.

4 Je les tirai avec des liens d’humanité, avec des cordages d’amour, Je fus pour eux comme celui qui aurait relâché le joug près de leur bouche, Et je leur présentai de la nourriture.
