Hosea 9:16 in Context — Hosea 9
14 Donne-leur, ô Éternel!… Que leur donneras-tu?… Donne-leur un sein qui avorte et des mamelles desséchées!
15 Toute leur méchanceté se montre à Guilgal; C’est là que je les ai pris en aversion. A cause de la malice de leurs œuvres, Je les chasserai de ma maison. Je ne les aimerai plus; Tous leurs chefs sont des rebelles.
16 Éphraïm est frappé, sa racine est devenue sèche; Ils ne porteront plus de fruit; Et s’ils ont des enfants, Je ferai périr les objets de leur tendresse.
17 Mon Dieu les rejettera, parce qu’ils ne l’ont pas écouté, Et ils seront errants parmi les nations.
