Hosea 7:16 in Context — Hosea 7
14 Ils ne crient pas vers moi dans leur cœur, Mais ils se lamentent sur leur couche; Ils se rassemblent pour avoir du blé et du moût, Et ils s’éloignent de moi.
15 Je les ai châtiés, j’ai fortifié leurs bras; Et ils méditent le mal contre moi.
16 Ce n’est pas au Très-Haut qu’ils retournent; Ils sont comme un arc trompeur. Leurs chefs tomberont par l’épée, A cause de l’insolence de leur langue. C’est ce qui les rendra un objet de risée dans le pays d’Égypte.
