Hosea 8:6 in Context — Hosea 8

4 Ils ont établi des rois sans mon ordre, Et des chefs à mon insu; Ils ont fait des idoles avec leur argent et leur or; C’est pourquoi ils seront anéantis.

5 L’Éternel a rejeté ton veau, Samarie! Ma colère s’est enflammée contre eux. Jusques à quand refuseront-ils de se purifier?

6 Il vient d’Israël, un ouvrier l’a fabriqué, Et ce n’est pas un Dieu; C’est pourquoi le veau de Samarie sera mis en pièces.

7 Puisqu’ils ont semé du vent, ils moissonneront la tempête; Ils n’auront pas un épi de blé; Ce qui poussera ne donnera point de farine, Et s’il y en avait, des étrangers la dévoreraient.

8 Israël est anéanti! Ils sont maintenant parmi les nations Comme un vase qui n’a pas de prix.
