何西阿書 9:6

⁶ 看哪，他們逃避災難；埃及人必收殮他們的屍首，摩弗人必葬埋他們的骸骨。他們用銀子做的美物上必長蒺藜；他們的帳棚中必生荊棘。

耶利米書 44:12

¹² 那定意進入埃及地、在那裡寄居的，就是所剩下的猶大人，我必使他們盡都滅絕，必在埃及地仆倒，必因刀劍饑荒滅絕；從最小的到至大的都必遭刀劍饑荒而死，以致令人辱罵、驚駭、咒詛、羞辱。

191. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 8

1-7 They have perverted the church; they have turned its goods and truths into evils and falsities. (3)

8-11 By reasonings from the natural man they have put off everything of the church, (3)

12-14 and also everything of the worship of the church; therefore they cannot but perish. (3)
