Hosea 4:8 in Context — Hosea 4

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.

9 Il en sera du sacrificateur comme du peuple; Je le châtierai selon ses voies, Je lui rendrai selon ses œuvres.

10 Ils mangeront sans se rassasier, Ils se prostitueront sans multiplier, Parce qu’ils ont abandonné l’Éternel et ses commandements.
