Hosea 14:8 in Context — Hosea 14

6 Ses rameaux s’étendront; Il aura la magnificence de l’olivier, Et les parfums du Liban.

7 Ils reviendront s’asseoir à son ombre, Ils redonneront la vie au froment, Et ils fleuriront comme la vigne; Ils auront la renommée du vin du Liban.

8 Éphraïm, qu’ai-je à faire encore avec les idoles? Je l’exaucerai, je le regarderai, Je serai pour lui comme un cyprès verdoyant. C’est de moi que tu recevras ton fruit.

9 Que celui qui est sage prenne garde à ces choses! Que celui qui est intelligent les comprenne! Car les voies de l’Éternel sont droites; Les justes y marcheront, Mais les rebelles y tomberont.
