Hosea 12:3 in Context — Hosea 12
1 Éphraïm m’entoure de mensonge, Et la maison d’Israël de tromperie; Juda est encore sans frein vis-à-vis de Dieu, Vis-à-vis du Saint fidèle.
2 Éphraïm se repaît de vent, et poursuit le vent d’orient; Chaque jour il multiplie le mensonge et la violence; Il fait alliance avec l’Assyrie, Et on porte de l’huile en Égypte.
3 L’Éternel est aussi en contestation avec Juda, Et il punira Jacob pour sa conduite, Il lui rendra selon ses œuvres.
4 Dans le sein maternel Jacob saisit son frère par le talon, Et dans sa vigueur, il lutta avec Dieu.
5 Il lutta avec l’ange, et il fut vainqueur, Il pleura, et lui adressa des supplications. Jacob l’avait trouvé à Béthel, Et c’est là que Dieu nous a parlé.
