Hosea:7-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When I would have healed Israel Yisra #
el #,
then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered ,
and the wickedness of Samaria :
for they commit falsehood ;
and the thief cometh in ,
and the troop of robbers spoileth without .
*
And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness :
now their own doings have beset them about ;
they are before my face .
*
They make the king glad with their wickedness ,
and the princes with their lies .
*
They are all adulterers ,
as an oven heated by the baker ,
who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough ,
until it be leavened .
*
In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine ;
he stretched out his hand with scorners .
*
For they have made ready their heart like an oven ,
whiles they lie in wait :
their baker sleepeth all the night ;
in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire .
*
They are all hot as an oven ,
and have devoured their judges ;
all their kings are fallen :
there is none among them that calleth unto me .
*
Ephraim ,
he hath mixed himself among the people ;
Ephraim is a cake not turned .
*
Strangers have devoured his strength ,
and he knoweth it not :
yea ,
gray hairs are here and there upon him ,
yet he knoweth not .
*
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face :
and they do not return to the LORD their God ,
nor seek him for all this .
*
Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart :
they call to Egypt ,
they go to Assyria .
*
When they shall go ,
I will spread my net upon them ;
I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven ;
I will chastise them ,
as their congregation hath heard .
*
Woe unto them !
for they have fled from me :
destruction unto them !
because they have transgressed against me :
though I have redeemed them ,
yet they have spoken lies against me .
*
And they have not cried unto me with their heart ,
when they howled upon their beds :
they assemble themselves for corn and wine ,
and they rebel against me .
*
Though I have bound and strengthened their arms ,
yet do they imagine mischief against me .
*
They return ,
but not to the most High :
they are like a deceitful bow :
their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue :
this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt .
*
Set the trumpet to thy mouth .
He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD ,
because they have transgressed my covenant ,
and trespassed against my law .
*
Israel shall cry unto me ,
My God ,
we know thee .
*
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good :
the enemy shall pursue him .
*
They have set up kings ,
but not by me :
they have made princes ,
and I knew it not :
of their silver and their gold have they made them idols ,
that they may be cut off .
*
Thy calf ,
O Samaria ,
hath cast thee off ;
mine anger is kindled against them :
how long will it be ere they attain to innocency ?
*
For from Israel was it also :
the workman made it ;
therefore it is not God :
but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces .
*
For they have sown the wind ,
and they shall reap the whirlwind :
it hath no stalk :
the bud shall yield no meal :
if so be it yield ,
the strangers shall swallow it up .
*
Israel is swallowed up :
now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure .
*
For they are gone up to Assyria ,
a wild ass alone by himself :
Ephraim hath hired lovers .
*
Yea ,
though they have hired among the nations ,
now will I gather them ,
and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes .
*
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin ,
altars shall be unto him to sin .
*
I have written to him the great things of my law ,
but they were counted as a strange thing .
*
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings ,
and eat it ;
but the LORD accepteth them not ;
now will he remember their iniquity ,
and visit their sins chatta #
ah #:
they shall return to Egypt .
*
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker ,
and buildeth temples ;
and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities :
but I will send a fire upon his cities ,
and it shall devour the palaces thereof .
*
Rejoice not ,
O Israel Yisra #
el #,
for joy ,
as other people :
for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God ,
thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor goren #.
*
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them ,
and the new wine shall fail in her .
*
They shall not dwell in the LORDS land ;
but Ephraim shall return to Egypt ,
and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria .
*
They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD ,
neither shall they be pleasing unto him :
their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners ;
all that eat thereof shall be polluted :
for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD .
*
What will ye do in the solemn day ,
and in the day of the feast of the LORD ?
*
For ,
lo ,
they are gone because of destruction :
Egypt shall gather them up ,
Memphis shall bury them :
the pleasant places for their silver ,
nettles shall possess them :
thorns shall be in their tabernacles .
*
The days of visitation are come ,
the days of recompence are come ;
Israel shall know it :
the prophet is a fool ,
the spiritual man is mad ,
for the multitude of thine iniquity ,
and the great hatred .
*
The watchman of Ephraim was with my God :
but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways ,
and hatred in the house of his God .
*
They have deeply corrupted themselves ,
as in the days of Gibeah Gib #
ah #:
therefore he will remember their iniquity ,
he will visit their sins chatta #
ah #.
*
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness ;
I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time re #
shiyth #:
but they went to Baalpeor Ba #
al P @#
owr #,
and separated themselves unto that shame ;
and their abominations were according as they loved .
*
As for Ephraim ,
their glory shall fly away like a bird ,
from the birth ,
and from the womb ,
and from the conception .
*
Though they bring up their children ,
yet will I bereave them ,
that there shall not be a man left :
yea ,
woe also to them when I depart from them !
*
Ephraim ,
as I saw Tyrus ,
is planted in a pleasant place :
but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer .
*
Give them ,
O LORD :
what wilt thou give ?
give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts .
*
All their wickedness is in Gilgal :
for there I hated them :
for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house ,
I will love them no more :
all their princes are revolters .
*
Ephraim is smitten ,
their root is dried up ,
they shall bear no fruit :
yea ,
though they bring forth ,
yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb .
*
My God will cast them away ,
because they did not hearken unto him :
and they shall be wanderers among the nations .
*
Israel is an empty vine ,
he bringeth forth fruit unto himself :
according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars ;
according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images .
*
Their heart is divided ;
now shall they be found faulty :
he shall break down their altars ,
he shall spoil their images .
*
For now they shall say ,
We have no king ,
because we feared not the LORD ;
what then should a king do to us ?
*
They have spoken words ,
swearing falsely in making a covenant :
thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field .
*
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven Beyth :
for the people thereof shall mourn over it ,
and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it ,
for the glory thereof ,
because it is departed from it .
*
It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb :
Ephraim shall receive shame ,
and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel .
*
As for Samaria ,
her king is cut off as the foam upon the water .
*
The high places also of Aven ,
the sin of Israel Yisra #
el #,
shall be destroyed :
the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars ;
and they shall say to the mountains ,
Cover us ;
and to the hills gib #
ah #,
Fall on us .
*
O Israel Yisra #
el #,
thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah Gib #
ah #:
there they stood :
the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them .
*
It is in my desire that I should chastise them ;
and the people shall be gathered against them ,
when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows .
*
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught ,
and loveth to tread out the corn ;
but I passed over upon her fair neck tsavva #
r #:
I will make Ephraim to ride ;
Judah shall plow ,
and Jacob shall break his clods .
*
Sow to yourselves in righteousness ,
reap in mercy ;
break up your fallow ground :
for it is time to seek the LORD ,
till he come and rain righteousness upon you .
*
Ye have plowed wickedness ,
ye have reaped iniquity ;
ye have eaten the fruit of lies :
because thou didst trust in thy way ,
in the multitude of thy mighty men .
*
Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people ,
and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled ,
as Shalman spoiled Betharbel Beyth #
Arbe #
l #
in the day of battle :
the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children .
*
So shall Bethel Beyth -#
El #
do unto you because of your great wickedness :
in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off .
*
When Israel was a child na #
ar #,
then I loved him ,
and called my son out of Egypt .
