Hosea 4:9 in Context — Hosea 4

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.

11 La prostitution, le vin et le moût, font perdre le sens.
