Hosea 5:4 in Context — Hosea 5
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.
6 Ils iront avec leurs brebis et leurs bœufs chercher l’Éternel, Mais ils ne le trouveront point: Il s’est retiré du milieu d’eux.
