Hosea 4:17 in Context — Hosea 4

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!

16 Parce qu’Israël se révolte comme une génisse indomptable, Maintenant l’Éternel le fera paître Comme un agneau dans de vastes plaines.

17 Éphraïm est attaché aux idoles: laisse-le!

18 A peine ont-ils cessé de boire Qu’ils se livrent à la prostitution; Leurs chefs sont avides d’ignominie.

19 Le vent les enveloppera de ses ailes, Et ils auront honte de leurs sacrifices.
