Hosea 14:2 in Context — Hosea 14

1 Israël, reviens à l’Éternel, ton Dieu, Car tu es tombé par ton iniquité.

2 Apportez avec vous des paroles, Et revenez à l’Éternel. Dites-lui: Pardonne toutes les iniquités, Et reçois-nous favorablement! Nous t’offrirons, au lieu de taureaux, l’hommage de nos lèvres.

3 L’Assyrien ne nous sauvera pas, nous ne monterons pas sur des chevaux, Et nous ne dirons plus à l’ouvrage de nos mains: Notre Dieu! Car c’est auprès de toi que l’orphelin trouve compassion.

4 Je réparerai leur infidélité, J’aurai pour eux un amour sincère; Car ma colère s’est détournée d’eux.
