Hosea 13:7 in Context — Hosea 13

5 Je t’ai connu dans le désert, Dans une terre aride.

6 Ils se sont rassasiés dans leurs pâturages; Ils se sont rassasiés, et leur cœur s’est enflé; C’est pourquoi ils m’ont oublié.

7 Je serai pour eux comme un lion; Comme une panthère, je les épierai sur la route.

8 Je les attaquerai, comme une ourse à qui l’on a enlevé ses petits, Et je déchirerai l’enveloppe de leur cœur; Je les dévorerai, comme une lionne; Les bêtes des champs les mettront en pièces.

9 Ce qui cause ta ruine, Israël, C’est que tu as été contre moi, contre celui qui pouvait te secourir.
