Oseas 5

Studie

   

1 SACERDOTES, oid esto, y estad atentos, casa de Israel; y casa del rey, escuchad: porque á vosotros es el juicio, pues habéis sido lazo en Mizpa, y red extendida sobre Tabor.

2 Y haciendo víctimas han bajado hasta el profundo: por tanto yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.

3 Yo conozco á Ephraim, é Israel no me es desconocido; porque ahora, oh Ephraim, has fornicado, y se ha contaminado Israel.

4 No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse á su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen á Jehová.

5 Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara: é Israel y Ephraim tropezarán en su pecado: tropezará también Judá con ellos.

6 Con sus ovejas y con sus vacas andarán buscando á Jehová, y no le hallarán; apartóse de ellos.

7 Contra Jehová prevaricaron, porque hijos extraños han engendrado: ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.

8 Tocad bocina en Gabaa, trompreta en Ramá: sonad tambor en Beth-aven: tras ti, oh Benjamín.

9 Ephraim será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer verdad.

10 Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré sobre ellos como agua mi ira.

11 Ephraim es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.

12 Yo pues seré como polilla á Ephraim, y como carcoma á la casa de Judá.

13 Y verá Ephraim su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Ephraim al Assur, y enviará al rey Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.

14 Porque yo seré como león á Ephraim, y como cachorro de león á la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré; tomaré, y no habrá quien liberte.

15 Andaré, y tornaré á mi lugar hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi rostro. En su angustia madrugarán á mi.

Isaiah 9

Studie

   

1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them the light has shined.

3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

5 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.

6 For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.

9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,

10 "The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."

11 Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,

12 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.

14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.

15 The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.

16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.

17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of Armies, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.

20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
