He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

  1. Hosea 11:5 Or surely

Puisqu’ils ont refusé ╵de revenir à moi,
ils ne retourneront pas en Egypte,
ce sera l’Assyrie ╵qui régnera sur eux.
Le glaive va s’abattre ╵sur leurs cités,
où il mettra en pièces ╵les barres de leurs portes
et il dévorera leurs habitants
à cause de leurs stratagèmes.
Mon peuple est décidé ╵à me tourner le dos.
On les appelle ╵à se tourner vers le Très-Haut[a],
mais jamais aucun d’eux ╵ne daigne élever le regard.
