何西阿書 9

Study

   

1 以色列啊,不要像外邦人歡喜快樂;因為你行邪淫離棄你的,在各穀場上如妓女賞賜。

2 穀場和酒醡都不夠以色列人使用;新酒也必缺乏。

3 他們必不得耶和華的以法蓮卻要歸回埃及,必在亞述不潔淨的食物。

4 他們必不得向耶和華奠酒,即便奠酒也不蒙悅納。他們的祭物必如居喪者的食物,凡的必被玷污;因他們的食物只為自己的口腹,必不奉入耶和華的殿。

5 在大會的日子,到耶和華的節期,你們怎樣行呢?

6 看哪,他們逃避災難;埃及人必收殮他們的屍首,摩弗人必葬埋他們的骸骨。他們用子做的美物上必長蒺藜;他們的帳棚中必生荊棘。

7 以色列人知道降罰的日子臨近,報應的時候到。民說:作先知的是愚昧;受靈感的是妄,皆因他們多多作孽,大懷怨恨。

8 以法蓮曾作我守望的;至於先知,在他一切的道上作為捕鳥人的網羅,在他的家中懷怨恨。

9 以法蓮深深地敗壞,如在基比亞的日子一樣。耶和華必記念他們的孽,追討他們的罪惡

10 主說:我遇見以色列如葡萄在曠野;我見你們的列祖如無花果樹上春季初熟的果子。他們卻到巴力毗珥專拜那可羞恥的,就成為可憎惡的,與他們所的一樣。

11 至於以法蓮人,他們的榮耀必如去,必不生產,不懷胎,不成孕。

12 縱然養大兒女,我卻必使他們喪子,甚不留一個。我離棄他們,他們就有禍了。

13 以法蓮如推羅栽於美地。以法蓮卻要將自己的兒女帶出來,交與行殺戮的人。

14 耶和華啊,求你加他們─加甚麼呢?要使他們胎墜乳乾。

15 耶和華說:他們一切的惡事都在吉甲;我在那裡憎惡他們。因他們所行的惡,我必從我地上趕出他們去,不再憐愛他們;他們的首領都是悖逆的。

16 以法蓮受責罰,本枯乾,必不能結果,即或生產,我必殺他們所生的愛子。

17 我的必棄絕他們,因為他們不從他;他們也必飄流在列國中。
