Hosea 3:2 in Context — Hosea 3

1 L’Éternel me dit: Va encore, et aime une femme aimée d’un amant, et adultère; aime-la comme l’Éternel aime les enfants d’Israël, qui se tournent vers d’autres dieux et qui aiment les gâteaux de raisins.

2 Je l’achetai pour quinze sicles d’argent, un homer d’orge et un léthec d’orge.

3 Et je lui dis: Reste longtemps pour moi, ne te livre pas à la prostitution, ne sois à aucun homme, et je serai de même envers toi.

4 Car les enfants d’Israël resteront longtemps sans roi, sans chef, sans sacrifice, sans statue, sans éphod, et sans théraphim.
