Hosea 2:8 in Context — Hosea 2

6 et je n’aurai pas pitié de ses enfants, car ce sont des enfants de prostitution.

7 Leur mère s’est prostituée, celle qui les a conçus s’est déshonorée, car elle a dit: J’irai après mes amants, qui me donnent mon pain et mon eau, ma laine et mon lin, mon huile et ma boisson.

8 C’est pourquoi voici, je vais fermer son chemin avec des épines et y élever un mur, afin qu’elle ne trouve plus ses sentiers.

9 Elle poursuivra ses amants, et ne les atteindra pas; elle les cherchera, et ne les trouvera pas. Puis elle dira: J’irai, et je retournerai vers mon premier mari, car alors j’étais plus heureuse que maintenant.

10 Elle n’a pas reconnu que c’était moi qui lui donnais le blé, le moût et l’huile; et l’on a consacré au service de Baal l’argent et l’or que je lui prodiguais.
