何西阿书 10

Studie

   

1 以色列是茂盛的葡萄树,结果繁多。果子越多,就越增添祭坛土越肥美,就越造美丽的柱像。

2 他们怀二意,现今要定为有罪。耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛,毁坏他们的柱像。

3 他们必我们没有王,因为我们不敬畏耶和华。王能为我们做甚麽呢?

4 他们为立约说谎言,起假誓;因此,灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。

5 撒玛利亚的居民必因伯亚文的牛犊惊恐;崇拜牛犊的民和喜爱牛犊的祭司都必因荣耀离开他,为他悲哀。

6 牛犊带到亚述当作礼物,献给耶雷布王。以法莲必蒙羞;以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧。

7 至於撒玛利亚,他的王必灭没,如面的沫子一样。

8 伯亚文的邱─就是以色列的地方必被毁灭;荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上。他们必对大:遮盖我们!对小:倒在我们身上!

9 以色列啊,你从基比亚的日子以来时常犯罪。你们的先人曾站在那里,现今住基比亚的人以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己。

10 我必随意惩罚他们。他们为两样的罪所缠;列邦的民必聚集攻击他们。

11 以法莲是驯良的母牛犊,喜踹谷,我却将轭加在他肥美的颈项上,我要使以法莲拉套(或作:被)。犹大必耕田;雅各地。

12 你们要为自己栽种公,就能收割慈爱。现今正是寻求耶和华的时候;你们要开垦荒地,等他临到,使公如雨降在你们身上。

13 你们耕种的是奸恶,收割的是罪孽,的是谎话的果子。因你倚靠自己的行为,仰赖勇士众多,

14 所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声,你一切的保障必被拆毁,就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯亚比勒,将其中的母子一同摔死。

15 因他们的大恶,伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。到了黎明,以色列的王必全然灭绝。

54. 26. (In Hosea from beginning to end falsification is treated of, which is described by whoredom and Ephraim.)

[The sons of Israel shall abide many days: there shall be no king, no prince, no sacrifice, no image, no ephod, and no teraphim.] Then shall the sons of Israel return and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and come with fear to Jehovah, and to His goodness, in the last days (Hosea 3:4-5).

(I will return to my place, and they will seek Me in the morning (Hosea 5:15). Jehovah will revive us after three days, in the third day He will raise us up so that we shall live before Him; His going forth is prepared as the dawn (Hosea 6:2-3).)

(Woe unto them because they have wandered away from Me! destruction unto them! because they have transgressed, and I have redeemed them (Hosea 7:13).)

Devastation shall stand among thy people, there shall be laying waste, as in the day of battle (Hosea 10:14).

Ephraim feedeth on wind and followeth after the east wind, every day he increaseth lies and desolation, they make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt (Hosea 12:2).
