Hosea:9:1-10:15
asv@Hosea:9:1 @Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast played the harlot, departing from thy God; thou hast loved hire upon every grain-floor.
asv@Hosea:9:2 @The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
asv@Hosea:9:3 @They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
asv@Hosea:9:4 @They shall not pour out wine-offerings to Jehovah, 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 shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
asv@Hosea:9:5 @What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
asv@Hosea:9:6 @For, lo, they are gone away from destruction; yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
asv@Hosea:9:7 @The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the man that hath the spirit is mad, for the abundance of thine iniquity, and because the enmity is great.
asv@Hosea:9:8 @Ephraim was a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his God.
asv@Hosea:9:9 @They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
asv@Hosea:9:10 @I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
asv@Hosea:9:11 @As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
asv@Hosea:9:12 @Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
asv@Hosea:9:13 @Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.
asv@Hosea:9:14 @Give them, O Jehovah-what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
asv@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 revolters.
asv@Hosea:9:16 @Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
asv@Hosea:9:17 @My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
asv@Hosea:10:1 @Israel is a luxuriant vine, that putteth forth his fruit: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars.
asv@Hosea:10:2 @Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will smite their altars, he will destroy their pillars.
asv@Hosea:10:3 @Surely now shall they say, We have no king; for we fear not Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?
asv@Hosea:10:4 @They speak vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
asv@Hosea:10:5 @The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
asv@Hosea:10:6 @It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
asv@Hosea:10:7 @As for Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
asv@Hosea:10:8 @The high places also 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.
asv@Hosea:10:9 @O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood; the battle against the children of iniquity doth not overtake them in Gibeah.
asv@Hosea:10:10 @When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.
asv@Hosea:10:11 @And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out the grain; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.
asv@Hosea:10:12 @Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
asv@Hosea:10:13 @Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
asv@Hosea:10:14 @Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
asv@Hosea:10:15 @So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.
