noyes@Hosea:1:2 @ The beginning of the word of Jehovah by Hosea. Jehovah said to Hosea: Go, and take thee a wife of lewdness, and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness; it is false to Jehovah.

noyes@Hosea:2:2 @ Contend ye with your mother, contend! For she is not my wife, Nor am I her husband; That she put away lewdness from her face, And adultery from her breasts, Lest I strip her naked, And expose her, as when she was born;
noyes@Hosea:2:3 @ Lest I make her as the desert, and like a parched land, And kill her with thirst.
noyes@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother hath been guilty of lewdness; She that bore them hath brought upon herself shame; For she said, I will go after my lovers, Who give me my food and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my strong drink.

noyes@Hosea:2:15 @ And thence will I give her her vineyards, And the valley of Achor for a door of hope; And there shall she sing, as in the days of her youth! As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
noyes@Hosea:2:16 @ At that time, saith Jehovah, Thou shalt call me, MY HUSBAND; Thou shalt no more call me, MY BAAL;

noyes@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her for me for fifteen shekels of silver, and a homer and a half of barley.
noyes@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, Thou shalt wait for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be with any man; so will I also wait for thee.

noyes@Hosea:4:4 @ Yet let no man rebuke, and let no man reprove; For thy people are like those that contend with the priest,
noyes@Hosea:4:5 @ Therefore shalt thou Fall by day, And the prophet shall fall with thee by night, And I will destroy thy mother.
noyes@Hosea:4:8 @ They feed upon the sins of my people, And incline their hearts to their iniquity.

noyes@Hosea:4:11 @ Fornication and wine and new wine take away the understanding;
noyes@Hosea:4:12 @ My people ask counsel of their stocks, And their staff revealeth to them. For the spirit of fornication causeth them to err; Yea, they commit fornication, forsaking their God.
noyes@Hosea:4:13 @ On the tops of the mountains they sacrifice, And on the hills they burn incense, Under the oak, and the poplar, and the terebinth, Because their shade is pleasant. Therefore your daughters commit fornication, And your daughtersinlaw commit adultery;
noyes@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters, when they commit fornication, Nor your daughtersinlaw, when they commit adultery; For ye yourselves go aside with harlots, And sacrifice with prostitutes; Therefore the people that hath not understanding shall fall.

noyes@Hosea:5:2 @ By their sacrifices they commit deep transgression, And I will bring chastisement upon them all.
noyes@Hosea:5:3 @ I know Ephraim, And Israel is not hidden from me; For thou committest fornication, O Ephraim, And Israel is defiled.

noyes@Hosea:6:5 @ Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth, And my judgments have gone forth like the light.
noyes@Hosea:6:6 @ For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God rather than burntofferings.
noyes@Hosea:7:1 @ When I was about to deliver my people from captivity, When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, And the wickedness of Samaria; For they practise fraud, And the thief entereth in, And the band of robbers spoileth without.
noyes@Hosea:7:2 @ And they think not in their hearts, That I remember all their wickedness. Now shall their doings encompass them; They are before my face.

noyes@Hosea:8:4 @ 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 themselves idols, That they may be brought to destruction.
noyes@Hosea:8:6 @ For from Israel it came; The workman made it, and it is no God; Yea, into fragments shall the calf of Samaria be broken.
noyes@Hosea:8:7 @ They have sown the wind, And they shall reap the whirlwind. They shall have no standing harvest; The ear shall yield no meal; If perchance it yield, strangers shall devour it.

noyes@Hosea:9:17 @ My God shall cast them away, Because they have not hearkened to him, And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
