Hosea 13

Studie

   

1 When Ephraim spoke in horror, he lifted· himself ·up in Israel; and he became·​·guilty in Baal, and he died.

2 And now they add to sin, and have made for themselves molten images of their silver, and idols according·​·to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen; they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew rising·​·early and going, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind from the threshing·​·floor, and as the smoke from a chimney.

4 And I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt not know a God except Me; and there is no saviour except Me.

5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

6 According·​·to their pasture, so were they satisfied; they were satisfied, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me.

7 And I will be to them as a lion; as a leopard by the way will I observe them:

8 I will encounter them as a bear bereaved, and will rend the enclosure of their heart, and there will I devour them as an old·​·lion; the wild·​·animal of the field shall rip them.

9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in Me is thy help.

10 I·​·will·​·be thy king; where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities, and thy judges of whom thou didst say, Give to me a king and princes?

11 I gave thee a king in My anger, and took him away in My wrath.

12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bundled; his sin is kept·​·secret.

13 The pangs of her who gives·​·birth shall come to him; he is a son not wise; for he stands not even for a time in the breaking forth* of sons.

14 I will ransom them from the hand of hell; I will redeem them from death; O death, I·​·will·​·be thy pestilences; O hell, I·​·will·​·be thy destruction: repentance shall be hidden from My eyes.

15 For between the brothers, he shall be as a wild·​·ass; an east·​·wind shall come, the wind of Jehovah shall come·​·up from the wilderness, and his spring shall dry·​·up, and his fountain shall be wasted; He shall pillage the treasure of all the vessels of desire.

16 14:1 Samaria shall be·​·guilty; for she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword: their babes shall be dashed, and their pregnant women shall be ripped·​·open.
