Hosea 9:3 in Context — Hosea 9

1 Israël, ne te livre pas à la joie, à l’allégresse, comme les peuples, De ce que tu t’es prostitué en abandonnant l’Éternel, De ce que tu as aimé un salaire impur dans toutes les aires à blé!

2 L’aire et le pressoir ne les nourriront pas, Et le moût leur fera défaut.

3 Ils ne resteront pas dans le pays de l’Éternel; Éphraïm retournera en Égypte, Et ils mangeront en Assyrie des aliments impurs.

4 Ils ne feront pas à l’Éternel des libations de vin: Elles ne lui seraient point agréables. Leurs sacrifices seront pour eux comme un pain de deuil; Tous ceux qui en mangeront se rendront impurs; Car leur pain ne sera que pour eux, Il n’entrera point dans la maison de l’Éternel.

5 Que ferez-vous aux jours solennels, Aux jours des fêtes de l’Éternel?
