dby@Hosea:1:3 @ And he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.

dby@Hosea:1:4 @ And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jizreel; for yet a little, and I will visit the blood of Jizreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

dby@Hosea:1:5 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jizreel.

dby@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, so that I should pardon them.

dby@Hosea:1:7 @ But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God; and I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, [or] by horses, or by horsemen.

dby@Hosea:1:8 @ And she weaned Lo-ruhamah; and she conceived and bore a son;

dby@Hosea:1:9 @ and he said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be for you.

dby@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Sons of the living �God.

dby@Hosea:1:11 @ And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land: for great is the day of Jizreel.

dby@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is an unpruned vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly statues.

dby@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will break down their altars, he will destroy their statues.

dby@Hosea:10:3 @ For now they will say, We have no king, for we feared not Jehovah; and a king, what can he do for us?

dby@Hosea:10:4 @ They speak [mere] words, swearing falsely in making a covenant; therefore shall judgment spring up as hemlock in the furrows of the fields.

dby@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calf of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the idolatrous priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.

dby@Hosea:10:6 @ Yea, it shall be carried unto Assyria [as] a present for king Jareb: Ephraim shall be seized with shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

dby@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria her king is cut off as chips upon the face of the waters.

dby@Hosea:10:8 @ And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up upon their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us! and to the hills, Fall on us!

dby@Hosea:10:9 @ From the days of Gibeah hast thou sinned, O Israel: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

dby@Hosea:10:10 @ At my pleasure will I chastise them; and the peoples shall be assembled against them, when they are bound for their two iniquities.

dby@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is a trained heifer, that loveth to tread out [the corn]; I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to draw; Judah shall plough, Jacob shall break his clods.

dby@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

dby@Hosea:10:13 @ Ye have ploughed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst confide in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

dby@Hosea:10:14 @ And a tumult shall arise among thy peoples, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with the children.

dby@Hosea:10:15 @ So shall Bethel do unto you because of the wickedness of your wickedness: at day-break shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

dby@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.

dby@Hosea:11:2 @ As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.

dby@Hosea:11:3 @ And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, -- He took them upon his arms, -- but they knew not that I healed them.

dby@Hosea:11:4 @ I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat.

dby@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me];

dby@Hosea:11:6 @ and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.

dby@Hosea:11:7 @ Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [him].

dby@Hosea:11:8 @ How shall I give thee over, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee up, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

dby@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am �God, and not man, -- the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come in anger.

dby@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west:

dby@Hosea:11:11 @ they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.

dby@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with �God, and with the holy things of truth.

dby@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim feedeth on wind, and pursueth after the east wind: all day long he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

dby@Hosea:12:2 @ Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and he will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.

dby@Hosea:12:3 @ He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he wrestled with God.

dby@Hosea:12:4 @ Yea, he wrestled with the Angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us,

dby@Hosea:12:5 @ -- even Jehovah, the God of hosts, -- Jehovah is his memorial.

dby@Hosea:12:6 @ And thou, return unto thy God: keep loving-kindness and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.

dby@Hosea:12:7 @ [He is] a merchant, balances of deceit are in his hand; he loveth to oppress.

dby@Hosea:12:8 @ And Ephraim saith, Nevertheless I am become rich, I have found me out substance; in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.

dby@Hosea:12:9 @ But I [that am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt will again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.

dby@Hosea:12:10 @ And I have spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and by means of the prophets have I used similitudes.

dby@Hosea:12:11 @ If Gilead is iniquity, surely they are but vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

dby@Hosea:12:12 @ And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].

dby@Hosea:12:13 @ And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

dby@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim provoked [him] to anger most bitterly; and his Lord shall leave his blood upon him, and recompense unto him his reproach.

dby@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel: but he trespassed through Baal, and he died.

dby@Hosea:13:2 @ And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

dby@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the lattice.

dby@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou hast known no God but me; and there is no saviour besides me.

dby@Hosea:13:5 @ I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of drought.

dby@Hosea:13:6 @ According to their pasture, they became full; they became full, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me.

dby@Hosea:13:7 @ And I will be unto them as a lion; as a leopard I will lurk for them by the way;

dby@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her [whelps], and will rend the covering of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lioness: the beast of the field shall tear them.

dby@Hosea:13:9 @ It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help.

dby@Hosea:13:10 @ Where then is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? --

dby@Hosea:13:11 @ I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

dby@Hosea:13:12 @ The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid by in store.

dby@Hosea:13:13 @ The pangs of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is a son not wise; for at the time of the breaking forth of children, he was not there.

dby@Hosea:13:14 @ I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death: where, O death, are thy plagues? where, O Sheol, is thy destruction? Repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

dby@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, a wind of Jehovah [that] cometh up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.

dby@Hosea:13:16 @ Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

dby@Hosea:14:1 @ O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

dby@Hosea:14:2 @ Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah; say unto him, Forgive all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously; so will we render the calves of our lips.

dby@Hosea:14:3 @ Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Thou art] our God; because in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

dby@Hosea:14:4 @ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.

dby@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

dby@Hosea:14:6 @ His shoots shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

dby@Hosea:14:7 @ They shall return and sit under his shadow; they shall revive [as] corn, and blossom as the vine: the renown thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

dby@Hosea:14:8 @ Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? (I answer [him], and I will observe him.) I am like a green fir-tree. -- From me is thy fruit found.

dby@Hosea:14:9 @ Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? intelligent, and he shall know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein.
