mkjv - Hosea:9:1-10:15

mkjv@Hosea:9:1 @ O Israel, rejoice not for joy, like the peoples. For you have gone lusting away from your God; you have loved a reward on every grain floor.

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

mkjv@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

mkjv@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not pour wine to the LORD, nor shall they be pleasing to Him. Their sacrifices [shall be] like the bread of sorrows to them; all who eat of them shall be defiled. For their bread is for their soul, it shall not come into the house of the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:9:5 @ What will you do in the day of meeting, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

mkjv@Hosea:9:6 @ For lo, they have left because of destruction. Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess the desirable things of their silver; thorns [shall be] in their tents.

mkjv@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of her judgment have come; the days of vengeance have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man [is] insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and the great hatred.

mkjv@Hosea:9:8 @ The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God. The prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.

mkjv@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted, as [in] days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity; He will punish their sins.

mkjv@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first-fruit in the fig tree at her first time. But they went [to] Baal-peor and set themselves apart to a shameful thing; and they became abominable like that which they loved.

mkjv@Hosea:9:11 @ Ephraim is like a bird; their glory shall fly away from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.

mkjv@Hosea:9:12 @ Though they bring up their sons, yet I will make them childless, without a man. Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

mkjv@Hosea:9:13 @ Ephraim, when I looked toward Tyre, was planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim shall bring out his sons to the murderer.

mkjv@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O Lord; what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

mkjv@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them out of My house for the wickedness of their doings. I will love them no more; all their rulers [are] revolters.

mkjv@Hosea:9:16 @ Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit. Yea, though they bear, yet I will slay the beloved ones of their womb.

mkjv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God shall cast them away because they did not listen to Him. And they shall be wanderers among the nations.

mkjv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel [is] an luxuriant vine; he brings out fruit to himself. According to the multitude of his fruit, he has increased the altars. They have made beautiful images according to the goodness of his land.

mkjv@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided; now they shall be guilty. He shall break down their altars, and He shall spoil their images.

mkjv@Hosea:10:3 @ For now they shall say, We have no king because we did not fear the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

mkjv@Hosea:10:4 @ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant. So judgment springs up like hemlock in the furrows of the field.

mkjv@Hosea:10:5 @ Because of the calves of Beth-aven, the people of Samaria shall dread. For its people shall mourn over it, and its priest rejoiced on it for its glory, because it has departed from it.

mkjv@Hosea:10:6 @ It shall also be carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

mkjv@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king is cut off as a bough on the water.

mkjv@Hosea:10:8 @ Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, 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, Fall on us.

mkjv@Hosea:10:9 @ O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood; the battle against the sons of iniquity did not overtake them in Gibeah.

mkjv@Hosea:10:10 @ When I desire, I shall bind them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves to their two perversities.

mkjv@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim [is] like a trained heifer, trying to tread out. But I passed over on the goodness of her neck. I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

mkjv@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground. For [it is] time to seek the LORD, until He comes and rains righteousness on you.

mkjv@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed wickedness; you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies, because you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

mkjv@Hosea:10:14 @ And an uproar shall arise among your peoples, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as the ruin [of] Beth-arbel by Shalman in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces on [her] sons.

mkjv@Hosea:10:15 @ So He does to you, Bethel, because of your great evil. In a morning the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.
