Hosea 2

Studie

   

1 Saget euren Brüdern, sie sind mein Volk; und zu eurer Schwester, sie sei in Gnaden.

2 Sprechet das Urteil über eure Mutter, sie sei nicht mein Weib, und ich will sie nicht haben. Heißt sie ihre Hurerei von ihrem Angesichte wegtun und ihre Ehebrecherei von ihren Brüsten,

3 auf daß ich sie nicht nackend ausziehe und darstelle, wie sie war, da sie geboren ward, und ich sie nicht mache wie eine Wüste und wie ein dürres Land, daß ich sie nicht Durst sterben lasse,

4 und mich ihrer Kinder nicht erbarme; denn sie sind Hurenkinder,

5 und ihre Mutter ist eine Hure, und die sie getragen hat, hält sich schändlich und spricht: Ich will meinen Buhlen nachlaufen, die mir geben Brot, Wasser, Wolle, Flachs, Öl und Trinken.

6 Darum siehe, ich will deinen Weg mit Dornen vermachen und eine Wand davor ziehen, daß sie ihren Steig nicht finden soll,

7 und wenn sie ihren Buhlen nachläuft, daß sie die nicht ergreifen, und wenn sie die suchet, nicht finden könne und sagen müsse: Ich will wiederum zu meinem vorigen Manne gehen, da mir besser war, denn mir jetzt ist.

8 Denn sie will nicht wissen, daß ich es sei, der ihr gibt Korn, Most, Öl und ihr viel Silber und Gold gegeben habe, das sie haben Baal zu Ehren gebraucht.

9 Darum will ich mein Korn und Most wieder nehmen zu seiner Zeit und meine Wolle und Flachs entwenden, damit sie ihre Scham bedecket.

10 Nun will ich ihre Schande aufdecken vor den Augen ihrer Buhlen, und niemand soll sie von meiner Hand erretten.

11 Und ich will's ein Ende machen mit allen ihren Freuden, Festen, Neumonden, Sabbaten und allen ihren Feiertagen.

12 Ich will ihre Weinstöcke und Feigenbäume wüst machen, weil sie sagt: Das ist mein Lohn, den mir meine Buhlen geben. Ich will einen Wald daraus machen, daß es die wilden Tiere fressen sollen.

13 Also will ich heimsuchen über sie die Tage Baalim, denen sie Räuchopfer tut, und schmückt sich mit Stirnspangen und Halsbändern und läuft ihren Buhlen nach und vergißt mein, spricht der HERR.

14 Darum siehe, ich will sie locken und will sie in eine Wüste führen und freundlich mit ihr reden.

15 Da will ich ihr geben ihre Weinberge aus demselben Ort und das Tal Achor, die Hoffnung aufzutun. Und daselbst wird sie singen wie zur Zeit ihrer Jugend, da sie aus Ägyptenland zog.

16 Alsdann spricht der HERR, wirst du mich heißen mein Mann und mich nicht mehr mein Baal heißen.

17 Denn ich will die Namen der Baalim von ihrem Munde wegtun, daß man derselbigen Namen nicht mehr gedenken soll.

18 Und ich will zur selbigen Zeit ihnen einen Bund machen mit den Tieren auf dem Felde, mit den Vögeln unter dem Himmel und mit dem Gewürme auf Erden; und will Bogen, Schwert und Krieg vom Lande zerbrechen und will sie sicher wohnen lassen.

19 Ich will mich mit dir verloben in Ewigkeit; ich will mich mit dir vertrauen in Gerechtigkeit und Gericht, in Gnade und Barmherzigkeit;

20 ja, im Glauben will ich mich mit dir verloben; und du wirst den HERRN erkennen.

21 Zur selbigen Zeit, spricht der HERR, will ich erhören; ich will den Himmel erhören; und der Himmel soll die Erde erhören

22 und die Erde soll Korn, Most und Öl erhören; und dieselbigen sollen Jesreel erhören.

23 Und ich will mir sie auf Erden zum Samen behalten und mich erbarmen über die, so in Ungnaden war, und sagen zu dem, das nicht mein Volk war: Du bist mein Volk; und es wird sagen: Du bist mein Gott.

9856. Verses 15-30 And you shall make a breastplate of judgement, with the work of a designer; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; from gold, violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twined linen you shall make it. It shall be square when doubled, 1 a span the length of it, and a span the breadth of it. And you shall adorn it with settings of stones. 2 There shall be four rows of stones, the order being, A ruby, a topaz, a carbuncle - one row; and the second row, A chrysoprase, a sapphire, and a diamond; and the third row, A lapis lazuli, an agate, and an amethyst; and the fourth row, A tarshish, 3 and a shoham, 4 and a jasper. Enclosed in gold shall they be in their settings. And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names; with the engravings of a signet, each according to its name, they shall be for the twelve tribes. And you shall make on the breastplate small chains on the border 5 with the work of slender rope, 6 from pure gold. And you shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. And you shall put the two slender ropes of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. And the two ends of the two slender ropes you shall put into the two sockets, and put them onto the shoulders of the ephod before the face of it.
