1
以色列人哪，你們全家是我從埃及地領上來的，當聽耶和華攻擊你們的話：
2
在地上萬族中，我只認識你們；因此，我必追討你們的一切罪孽。
4
獅子若非抓食，豈能在林中咆哮呢？少壯獅子若無所得，豈能從洞中發聲呢？
5
若沒有機檻，雀鳥豈能陷在網羅裡呢？網羅若無所得，豈能從地上翻起呢？
6
城中若吹角，百姓豈不驚恐呢？災禍若臨到一城，豈非耶和華所降的麼？
9
要在亞實突的宮殿中和埃及地的宮殿裡傳揚說：你們要聚集在撒瑪利亞的山上，就看見城中有何等大的擾亂與欺壓的事。
10
那些以強暴搶奪財物、積蓄在自己家中的人不知道行正直的事。這是耶和華說的。
11
所以主耶和華如此說：敵人必來圍攻這地，使你的勢力衰微，搶掠你的家宅。
12
耶和華如此說：牧人怎樣從獅子口中搶回兩條羊腿或半個耳朵，住撒瑪利亞的以色列人躺臥在床角上或鋪繡花毯的榻上，他們得救也不過如此。
75. 4.
In that day I will visit, and make an end of the kingdom of Israel (Hosea 1:4-5).
The days of visitation will come, the days of retribution will come, He will visit their sins (Hosea 9:7, 9).
They shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us (Hosea 10:8).
They shall be laid waste as in the day of battle (Hosea 10:14).
The controversy of Jehovah with Judah, to visit upon Jacob, according to his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him (Hosea 12:3).
The day of Jehovah is great and very terrible, who then shall sustain it (Joel 2:11; 3:4).
A day of battle and a day of tempest (Amos 1:14).
Then the powerful one shall not deliver his soul, and the strong of heart among the heroes shall flee away naked in that day (Amos 2:14, 16).
He will visit upon them all their iniquities, in that day (Amos 3:2, 14).
If they dig into hell, if they ascend to the heavens or in the depth of the sea, etc., thence will I draw them out (Amos 9:2-6).
Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah; to what end is the day of Jehovah for you? it is a day of darkness and not of light. Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness and not light? and thick darkness and no brightness in it? (Amos 5:18, 20.)
The end is come upon my people Israel. Wherefore the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day: there shall be many a dead body (Amos 8:2-3).
It is called the day of destruction, the day of straitness (Obadiah 12-14, 18, 18).
The day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations; as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy retribution shall return upon thy head. But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness (Obadiah 14, 15, 17, 17).
1
Don't rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
2
The threshing floor and the winepress won't feed them, and the new wine will fail her.
3
They won't dwell in Yahweh's land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
4
They won't pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of Yahweh.
5
What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Yahweh?
6
For, behold, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.
7
The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
8
A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler's snare is on all of his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.
9
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.
10
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
11
As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, none with child, and no conception.
12
Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13
I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
14
Give them--Yahweh what will you Give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15
"All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house! I will love them no more. All their princes are rebels.
16
Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb."
17
My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
