Hosea 12:7 in Context — Hosea 12
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.
6 L’Éternel est le Dieu des armées; Son nom est l’Éternel.
7 Et toi, reviens à ton Dieu, Garde la piété et la justice, Et espère toujours en ton Dieu.
8 Éphraïm est un marchand qui a dans sa main des balances fausses, Il aime à tromper.
9 Et Éphraïm dit: A la vérité, je me suis enrichi, J’ai acquis de la fortune; Mais c’est entièrement le produit de mon travail; On ne trouvera chez moi aucune iniquité, rien qui soit un crime.
