Hosea 13:16 in Context — Hosea 13

14 Je les rachèterai de la puissance du séjour des morts, Je les délivrerai de la mort. O mort, où est ta peste? Séjour des morts, où est ta destruction? Mais le repentir se dérobe à mes regards!

15 Éphraïm a beau être fertile au milieu de ses frères, Le vent d’orient viendra, le vent de l’Éternel s’élèvera du désert, Desséchera ses sources, tarira ses fontaines. On pillera le trésor de tous les objets précieux.

16 Samarie sera punie, parce qu’elle s’est révoltée contre son Dieu. Ils tomberont par l’épée; Leurs petits enfants seront écrasés, Et l’on fendra le ventre de leurs femmes enceintes.
