dby - Hosea:9:1-10:15

dby@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.

dby@Hosea:9:2 @ The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.

dby@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.

dby@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.

dby@Hosea:9:5 @ What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?

dby@Hosea:9:6 @ For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.

dby@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.

dby@Hosea:9:8 @ Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.

dby@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

dby@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.

dby@Hosea:9:11 @ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, -- no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!

dby@Hosea:9:12 @ For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!

dby@Hosea:9:13 @ Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.

dby@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, Jehovah -- what wilt thou give? -- give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

dby@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious.

dby@Hosea:9:16 @ Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.

dby@Hosea:9:17 @ My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

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.
