Hosea 9

Studie

   

1 Be· not ·glad, O Israel, unto rejoicing as the peoples; for thou hast committed·​·harlotry from thy God; thou hast loved meretricious* hire on every threshing·​·floor of grain.

2 The threshing·​·floor and the winepress shall not pasture them, and the must* shall deny her.

3 They shall not dwell in Jehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

4 They shall not pour·​·out wine to Jehovah, nor shall they be·​·agreeable to Him; their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of sorrows; all that eat of it shall be defiled; for their bread for their soul shall not come·​·into the house of Jehovah.

5 What will you do in the solemn day, and in the day of the festival of Jehovah?

6 For, behold, they are gone away because of devastation; Egypt shall bring· them ·together, Memphis shall bury them: their silver shall be desired, kimmos* shall possess them: the thorny·​·shrub shall be in their tents.

7 The days of the visitation have come, the days of the repayment have come; Israel shall know; stupid is the prophet, the man of the spirit is mad, on·​·account·​·of the multitude of thine iniquity, and much hatred.

8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God; the prophet is like a trap of a fowler in all his ways, hatred in the house of his God.

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will visit their sins.

10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first·​·fruit in the fig·​·tree in her beginning; but they came to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to that shame; and their detestable things were according·​·to their love.

11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a fowl, from the giving·​·birth, and from the belly, and from the conception.

12 For though they cause their sons to grow·​·up, yet I will make them bereaved of man; for there is also woe to them when I turn·​·aside from them!

13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a home; but Ephraim shall bring·​·forth his sons to the killer.

14 Give them, O Jehovah; what wilt Thou Give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

15 All their evil is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: on·​·account·​·of the evil of their actions I will drive· them ·out from My house, I will love them not again; all their princes are defiant.

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried·​·up, they shall not make fruit; even though they give·​·birth, yet will I put·​·to·​·death the desires of their belly.

17 My God will reject them, because they did not hearken unto Him; and they shall be fugitives among the nations.
