Oseas 13

Studie

   

1 Cuando Efraín hablaba, todos tenían temor; fue ensalzado en Israel; mas pecó en Baal, y murió.

2 Y ahora añadieron a su pecado, y de su plata se han hecho según su entendimiento estatuas de fundición, ídolos, toda obra de artífices; acerca de los cuales dicen a los hombres que sacrifican, que besen los becerros.

3 Por tanto, serán como la niebla de la mañana, y como el rocío de la madrugada que se pasa; como el tamo que la tempestad arroja de la era, y como el humo que de la chimenea sale.

4 Mas yo soy el SEÑOR tu Dios desde la tierra de Egipto; por tanto no conocerás Dios fuera de mí, ni otro salvador sino a mí.

5 Yo te conocí en el desierto, en tierra seca.

6 En sus pastos se hartaron, se saciaron, y se ensoberbeció su corazón; por esta causa se olvidaron de mí.

7 Por tanto, yo seré para ellos como león; como tigre en el camino los espiaré.

8 Como oso que ha perdido los hijos los encontraré, y romperé el velo de su corazón, y allí los devoraré como león; bestia del campo los despedazará.

9 Te perdiste, oh Israel, mas en mí está tu ayuda.

10 ¿Dónde está tu rey, para que te guarde con todas tus ciudades? ¿y tus jueces? De los cuales dijiste: Dame rey y príncipes.

11 Te di rey en mi furor, y lo quité en mi ira.

12 Atada está la maldad de Efraín; su pecado está guardado.

13 Dolores de mujer de parto le vendrán; es un hijo ignorante, porque ya hace tiempo que no debería detenerse al punto mismo de nacer.

14 De la mano del sepulcro los redimiré, de la muerte los libraré. Oh muerte, yo seré tu mortandad; y seré tu destrucción, oh sepulcro; arrepentimiento será escondido de mis ojos.

15 Aunque él fructificará entre los hermanos, vendrá el solano, viento del SEÑOR; subiendo de la parte del desierto, y se secará su vena, y se secará su manadero; él saqueará el tesoro de todas las alhajas de codicia.

16 Samaria será asolada, porque se rebeló contra su Dios; caerán a cuchillo; sus niños serán estrellados, y sus mujeres encintas serán abiertas.

18. 16. I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, which call thee by thy name am the God of Israel. I am Jehovah and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: that they may know from the rising and from the setting of the sun, that there is no God beside Me. I am Jehovah and there is none else (Isaiah 45:3-6).

(I have raised him up in justice: he shall build My city, not for price nor reward. Surely God is in Thee, and there is none else, there is no God. Verily Thou art a hidden God, O God of Israel, the Savior (Isaiah 45:13-15).) I am Jehovah; and there is none else (verse 18).

(Am not I Jehovah? and there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, that ye may be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none else (Isaiah 45:21-22).

I have sworn by myself, justice is gone out of My mouth, the word which shall not be recalled, that unto Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall swear (Isaiah 45:23).

Remember the former things from eternity: For I am God, and there is no God else (Isaiah 46:9, 13).

My glory will I not give to another (Isaiah 48:11). I am the First, I also am the Last (Isaiah 48:12).

(The voice of one that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. The glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together (Isaiah 40:3-5).)

(O Zion that tellest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain: O Jerusalem that tellest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, behold your God! Behold the Lord Jehovih cometh in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him: behold His reward is with Him, and the price of His work before Him: He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, He shall gather the lambs into His arm, and carry them in His bosom, He shall gently lead those that give suck (Isaiah 40:9-11).)

Isaiah 53

Studie

   

1 Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?

2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn't respect him.

4 Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn't open his mouth.

8 He was taken away by oppression and judgment; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?

9 They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.

11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
