Hosea 4:13 in Context — Hosea 4
11 La prostitution, le vin et le moût, font perdre le sens.
12 Mon peuple consulte son bois, Et c’est son bâton qui lui parle; Car l’esprit de prostitution égare, Et ils se prostituent loin de leur Dieu.
13 Ils sacrifient sur le sommet des montagnes, Ils brûlent de l’encens sur les collines, Sous les chênes, les peupliers, les térébinthes, Dont l’ombrage est agréable. C’est pourquoi vos filles se prostituent, Et vos belles-filles sont adultères.
14 Je ne punirai pas vos filles parce qu’elles se prostituent, Ni vos belles-filles parce qu’elles sont adultères, Car eux-mêmes vont à l’écart avec des prostituées, Et sacrifient avec des femmes débauchées. Le peuple insensé court à sa perte.
15 Si tu te livres à la prostitution, ô Israël, Que Juda ne se rende pas coupable; N’allez pas à Guilgal, ne montez pas à Beth-Aven, Et ne jurez pas: L’Éternel est vivant!
