Hosea 5:3 in Context — Hosea 5

1 Écoutez ceci, sacrificateurs! Sois attentive, maison d’Israël! Prête l’oreille, maison du roi! Car c’est à vous que le jugement s’adresse, Parce que vous avez été un piège à Mitspa, Et un filet tendu sur le Thabor.

2 Par leurs sacrifices, les infidèles s’enfoncent dans le crime, Mais j’aurai des châtiments pour eux tous.

3 Je connais Éphraïm, Et Israël ne m’est point caché; Car maintenant, Éphraïm, tu t’es prostitué, Et Israël s’est souillé.

4 Leurs œuvres ne leur permettent pas de revenir à leur Dieu, Parce que l’esprit de prostitution est au milieu d’eux, Et parce qu’ils ne connaissent pas l’Éternel.

5 L’orgueil d’Israël témoigne contre lui; Israël et Éphraïm tomberont par leur iniquité; Avec eux aussi tombera Juda.
