191. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 8

1-7 They have perverted the church; they have turned its goods and truths into evils and falsities. (3)

8-11 By reasonings from the natural man they have put off everything of the church, (3)

12-14 and also everything of the worship of the church; therefore they cannot but perish. (3)

Hosea 8:12-14

Study

      

12 I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.

13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Yahweh doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.

14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses."
