Hosea 3:4 in Context — Hosea 3

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.

5 Après cela, les enfants d’Israël reviendront; ils chercheront l’Éternel, leur Dieu, et David, leur roi; et ils tressailliront à la vue de l’Éternel et de sa bonté, dans la suite des temps.
