Hosea 6:5 in Context — Hosea 6
3 Connaissons, cherchons à connaître l’Éternel; Sa venue est aussi certaine que celle de l’aurore. Il viendra pour nous comme la pluie, Comme la pluie du printemps qui arrose la terre.
4 Que te ferai-je, Éphraïm? Que te ferai-je, Juda? Votre piété est comme la nuée du matin, Comme la rosée qui bientôt se dissipe.
5 C’est pourquoi je les frapperai par les prophètes, Je les tuerai par les paroles de ma bouche, Et mes jugements éclateront comme la lumière.
6 Car j’aime la piété et non les sacrifices, Et la connaissance de Dieu plus que les holocaustes.
7 Ils ont, comme le vulgaire, transgressé l’alliance; C’est alors qu’ils m’ont été infidèles.
