Hosea 3

Study

   

1 Kaj la Eternulo diris al mi plue:Iru, kaj komencu amajxon kun virino, kiun amas sxia edzo, sed kiu adultas, simile al tio, kiel la Eternulo amas la Izraelidojn, sed ili turnas sin al aliaj dioj kaj amas iliajn vinberkukojn.

2 Kaj mi akiris sxin al mi per dek kvin argxentaj moneroj kaj hxomero kaj duono da hordeo.

3 Kaj mi diris al sxi:Longan tempon restu cxe mi; ne malcxastu, kaj fordonu vin al neniu viro; tiel same mi agos kun vi.

4 CXar dum longa tempo la Izraelidoj restos sen regxo, sen estro, sen oferoj, sen statuo, sen efodo, kaj sen domaj dioj;

5 poste la Izraelidoj returnos sin, kaj sercxos la Eternulon, sian Dion, kaj Davidon, sian regxon, kaj ili respektegos la Eternulon kaj Lian bonon en la fina tempo.

43. We can see from the following passages that the Lord is called “David.”

On that day they will serve Jehovah their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. (Jeremiah 30:9)

Then the children of Israel will turn back and seek Jehovah their God and David their king; with fear they will come to Jehovah and his goodness at the very last of days. (Hosea 3:5)

I will raise up one shepherd over them, who will feed them: my servant David. He will feed them and be their shepherd. I, Jehovah, will be their God, and David will be the leader in their midst. (Ezekiel 34:23-24)

So that they become my people, and I become their God, my servant David will be king over them; there will be one shepherd for them all. Then they will dwell in the land, they and their children and their children’s children forever, and David will be their leader forever. And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it will be an everlasting covenant with them. (Ezekiel 37:23-26)

I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a prince and a lawmaker to the nations. (Isaiah 55:3-4)

On that day I will raise up the fallen tent of David and patch its holes; I will restore its ruins and build it as it was in ancient days. (Amos 9:11)

The house of David will be like God, like the angel of Jehovah before them. (Zechariah 12:8)

On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David. (Zechariah 13:1)
