Hosea 4:6 in Context — Hosea 4
4 Mais que nul ne conteste, que nul ne se livre aux reproches; Car ton peuple est comme ceux qui disputent avec les sacrificateurs.
5 Tu tomberas de jour, Le prophète avec toi tombera de nuit, Et je détruirai ta mère.
6 Mon peuple est détruit, parce qu’il lui manque la connaissance. Puisque tu as rejeté la connaissance, Je te rejetterai, et tu seras dépouillé de mon sacerdoce; Puisque tu as oublié la loi de ton Dieu, J’oublierai aussi tes enfants.
7 Plus ils se sont multipliés, plus ils ont péché contre moi: Je changerai leur gloire en ignominie.
8 Ils se repaissent des péchés de mon peuple, Ils sont avides de ses iniquités.
