Hosea 2:18 in Context — Hosea 2

16 C’est pourquoi voici, je veux l’attirer et la conduire au désert, et je parlerai à son cœur.

17 Là, je lui donnerai ses vignes et la vallée d’Acor, comme une porte d’espérance, et là, elle chantera comme au temps de sa jeunesse, et comme au jour où elle remonta du pays d’Égypte.

18 En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel, tu m’appelleras: Mon mari! Et tu ne m’appelleras plus: Mon maître!

19 J’ôterai de sa bouche les noms des Baals, afin qu’on ne les mentionne plus par leurs noms.

20 En ce jour-là, je traiterai pour eux une alliance avec les bêtes des champs, les oiseaux du ciel et les reptiles de la terre, je briserai dans le pays l’arc, l’épée et la guerre, et je les ferai reposer avec sécurité.
