何西阿书 12

Study

   

1 以法莲,且追赶东,时常增添虚谎和强暴,与亚述立约,把送到埃及

2 耶和华犹大争辩,必照雅各所行的惩罚他,按他所做的报应他。

3 他在腹中抓住哥哥的脚跟,壮年的时候与较力,

4 天使较力,并且得胜,哭泣恳求,在伯特利遇见耶和华。耶和华─万军之神在那里晓谕我们以色列人;耶和华是他可记念的名。

5 a

6 所以你当归向你的,谨守仁爱、公平,常常等候你的

7 以法莲是商人,里有诡诈的天平欺骗

8 以法莲:我果然成了富足,得了财宝;我所劳碌得来的,人必不见有甚麽不义,可算为罪的。

9 自从你出埃及以来,我就是耶和华─你的;我必使你再帐棚,如在大会的日子一样。

10 我已晓谕众先知,并且加增默示,藉先知设立比喻。

11 基列人没有罪孽麽?他们全然是虚假的。人在吉甲献牛犊为祭,他们的祭坛好像田间犁沟中的乱

12 从前雅各逃到亚兰地,以色列为得妻服事人,为得妻与人放羊。

13 耶和华先知以色列埃及上来;以色列也藉先知而得保存。

14 以法莲大大惹动怒,所以他流血的罪必归在他身上。必将那因以法莲所受的羞辱归还他。
