Hosea 12:8 in Context — Hosea 12

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.

10 Et moi, je suis l’Éternel, ton Dieu, dès le pays d’Égypte; Je te ferai encore habiter sous des tentes, comme aux jours de fêtes.
