THE BOOK OF
HOSEA
1Hosea1 1:1
The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
unto
Hosea
the
son
of
Beeri,
in
the
days
of
Uzziah,
Jotham,
Ahaz,
and
Hezekiah,
kings
of
Judah,
and
in
the
days
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Israel.
2 1:2
When
Jehovah
spake
at
the
first
by
Hosea,
Jehovah
said
unto
Hosea,
Go,
take
unto
thee
a
wife
of
whoredom
and
children
of
whoredom;
for
the
land
doth
commit
great
whoredom,
departing
from
Jehovah.
3 1:3
So
he
went
and
took
Gomer
the
daughter
of
Diblaim;
and
she
conceived,
and
bare
him
a
son.
4 1:4
And
Jehovah
said
unto
him,
Call
his
name
Jezreel;
for
yet
a
little
while,
and
I
will
avenge
the
blood
of
Jezreel
upon
the
house
of
Jehu,
and
will
cause
the
kingdom
of
the
house
of
Israel
to
cease.
5 1:5
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
that
day,
that
I
will
break
the
bow
of
Israel
in
the
valley
of
Jezreel.
6 1:6
And
she
conceived
again,
and
bare
a
daughter.
And
Jehovah
said
unto
him,
Call
her
name
Lo-ruhamah;
for
I
will
no
more
have
mercy
upon
the
house
of
Israel,
that
I
should
in
any
wise
pardon
them.
7 1:7
But
I
will
have
mercy
upon
the
house
of
Judah,
and
will
save
them
by
Jehovah
their
God,
and
will
not
save
them
by
bow,
nor
by
sword,
nor
by
battle,
by
horses,
nor
by
horsemen.
8 1:8
Now
when
she
had
weaned
Lo-ruhamah,
she
conceived,
and
bare
a
son.
9 1:9
And
Jehovah
said,
Call
his
name
Lo-ammi;
for
ye
are
not
my
people,
and
I
will
not
be
your
God.
10 1:10
Yet
the
number
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
which
cannot
be
measured
nor
numbered;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass
that,
in
the
place
where
it
was
said
unto
them,
Ye
are
not
my
people,
it
shall
be
said
unto
them,
Ye
are
the
sons
of
the
living
God.
11 1:11
And
the
children
of
Judah
and
the
children
of
Israel
shall
be
gathered
together,
and
they
shall
appoint
themselves
one
head,
and
shall
go
up
from
the
land;
for
great
shall
be
the
day
of
Jezreel.
21 2:1
Say
ye
unto
your
brethren,
Ammi;
and
to
your
sisters,
Ruhamah.
2 2:2
Contend
with
your
mother,
contend;
for
she
is
not
my
wife,
neither
am
I
her
husband;
and
let
her
put
away
her
whoredoms
from
her
face,
and
her
adulteries
from
between
her
breasts;
3 2:3
lest
I
strip
her
naked,
and
set
her
as
in
the
day
that
she
was
born,
and
make
her
as
a
wilderness,
and
set
her
like
a
dry
land,
and
slay
her
with
thirst.
4 2:4
Yea,
upon
her
children
will
I
have
no
mercy;
for
they
are
children
of
whoredom;
5 2:5
for
their
mother
hath
played
the
harlot;
she
that
conceived
them
hath
done
shamefully;
for
she
said,
I
will
go
after
my
lovers,
that
give
me
my
bread
and
my
water,
my
wool
and
my
flax,
mine
oil
and
my
drink.
6 2:6
Therefore,
behold,
I
will
hedge
up
thy
way
with
thorns,
and
I
will
build
a
wall
against
her,
that
she
shall
not
find
her
paths.
7 2:7
And
she
shall
follow
after
her
lovers,
but
she
shall
not
overtake
them;
and
she
shall
seek
them,
but
shall
not
find
them:
then
shall
she
say,
I
will
go
and
return
to
my
first
husband;
for
then
was
it
better
with
me
than
now.
8 2:8
For
she
did
not
know
that
I
gave
her
the
grain,
and
the
new
wine,
and
the
oil,
and
multiplied
unto
her
silver
and
gold,
which
they
used
for
Baal.
9 2:9
Therefore
will
I
take
back
my
grain
in
the
time
thereof,
and
my
new
wine
in
the
season
thereof,
and
will
pluck
away
my
wool
and
my
flax
which
should
have
covered
her
nakedness.
10 2:10
And
now
will
I
uncover
her
lewdness
in
the
sight
of
her
lovers,
and
none
shall
deliver
her
out
of
my
hand.
11 2:11
I
will
also
cause
all
her
mirth
to
cease,
her
feasts,
her
new
moons,
and
her
sabbaths,
and
all
her
solemn
assemblies.
12 2:12
And
I
will
lay
waste
her
vines
and
her fig-trees,
whereof
she
hath
said,
These
are
my
hire
that
my
lovers
have
given
me;
and
I
will
make
them
a
forest,
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
shall
eat
them.
13 2:13
And
I
will
visit
upon
her
the
days
of
the
Baalim,
unto
which
she
burned
incense,
when
she
decked
herself
with
her
earrings
and
her
jewels,
and
went
after
her
lovers,
and
forgat
me,
saith
Jehovah.
14 2:14
Therefore,
behold,
I
will
allure
her,
and
bring
her
into
the
wilderness,
and
speak
comfortably
unto
her.
15 2:15
And
I
will
give
her
her
vineyards
from
thence,
and
the
valley
of
Achor
for
a
door
of
hope;
and
she
shall
make
answer
there,
as
in
the
days
of
her
youth,
and
as
in
the
day
when
she
came
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
16 2:16
And
it
shall
be
at
that
day,
saith
Jehovah,
that
thou shalt
call
me
Ishi,
and shalt
call
me
no
more
Baali.
17 2:17
For
I
will
take
away
the
names
of
the
Baalim
out
of
her
mouth,
and
they
shall
no
more
be
mentioned
by
their
name.
18 2:18
And
in
that
day
will
I
make
a
covenant
for
them
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
with
the
birds
of
the
heavens,
and
with
the
creeping
things
of
the
ground:
and
I
will
break
the
bow
and
the
sword
and
the
battle
out
of
the
land,
and
will
make
them
to
lie
down
safely.
19 2:19
And
I
will
betroth
thee
unto
me
for
ever;
yea,
I
will
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
righteousness,
and
in
justice,
and
in
lovingkindness,
and
in
mercies.
20 2:20
I
will
even
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
faithfulness;
and
thou shalt
know
Jehovah.
21 2:21
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
I
will
answer,
saith
Jehovah,
I
will
answer
the
heavens,
and
they
shall
answer
the
earth;
22 2:22
and
the
earth
shall
answer
the
grain,
and
the
new
wine,
and
the
oil;
and
they
shall
answer
Jezreel.
23 2:23
And
I
will
sow
her
unto
me
in
the
earth;
and
I
will
have
mercy
upon
her
that
had
not
obtained
mercy;
and
I
will
say
to
them
that
were
not
my
people,
Thou
art
my
people;
and
they
shall
say,
Thou
art
my
God.
31 3:1
And
Jehovah
said
unto
me,
Go
again,
love
a
woman
beloved
of
her
friend,
and
an
adulteress,
even
as
Jehovah
loveth
the
children
of
Israel,
though
they
turn
unto
other
gods,
and
love
cakes
of
raisins.
2 3:2
So
I
bought
her
to
me
for
fifteen
pieces
of
silver,
and
a
homer
of
barley,
and
a half-homer
of
barley;
3 3:3
and
I
said
unto
her,
Thou shalt
abide
for
me
many
days;
thou shalt
not
play
the
harlot,
and
thou shalt
not
be
any
man’s
wife:
so
will
I
also
be
toward
thee.
4 3:4
For
the
children
of
Israel
shall
abide
many
days
without
king,
and
without
prince,
and
without
sacrifice,
and
without
pillar,
and
without
ephod
or
teraphim:
5 3:5
afterward
shall
the
children
of
Israel
return,
and
seek
Jehovah
their
God,
and
David
their
king,
and
shall
come
with
fear
unto
Jehovah
and
to
his
goodness
in
the
latter
days.
41 4:1
Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
ye
children
of
Israel;
for
Jehovah
hath
a
controversy
with
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
because
there
is
no
truth,
nor
goodness,
nor
knowledge
of
God
in
the
land.
2 4:2
There
is
nought
but
swearing
and
breaking
faith,
and
killing,
and
stealing,
and
committing
adultery;
they
break
out,
and
blood
toucheth
blood.
3 4:3
Therefore
shall
the
land
mourn,
and
every
one
that
dwelleth
therein
shall
languish,
with
the
beasts
of
the
field
and
the
birds
of
the
heavens;
yea,
the
fishes
of
the
sea
also
shall
be
taken
away.
4 4:4
Yet
let
no
man
strive,
neither
let
any
man
reprove;
for
thy
people
are
as
they
that
strive
with
the
priest.
5 4:5
And
thou shalt
stumble
in
the
day,
and
the
prophet
also
shall
stumble
with
thee
in
the
night;
and
I
will
destroy
thy
mother.
6 4:6
My
people
are
destroyed
for
lack
of
knowledge:
because
thou
hast
rejected
knowledge,
I
will
also
reject
thee,
that
thou shalt
be
no
priest
to
me:
seeing
thou
hast
forgotten
the
law
of
thy
God,
I
also
will
forget
thy
children.
7 4:7
As
they
were
multiplied,
so
they
sinned
against
me:
I
will
change
their
glory
into
shame.
8 4:8
They
feed
on
the
sin
of
my
people,
and
set
their
heart
on
their
iniquity.
9 4:9
And
it
shall
be,
like
people,
like
priest;
and
I
will
punish
them
for
their
ways,
and
will
requite
them
their
doings.
10 4:10
And
they
shall
eat,
and
not
have
enough;
they
shall
play
the
harlot,
and
shall
not
increase;
because
they
have
left
off
taking
heed
to
Jehovah.
11 4:11
Whoredom
and
wine
and
new
wine
take
away
the
understanding.
12 4:12
My
people
ask
counsel
at
their
stock,
and
their
staff
declareth
unto
them;
for
the
spirit
of
whoredom
hath
caused
them
to
err,
and
they
have
played
the
harlot,
departing
from
under
their
God.
13 4:13
They
sacrifice
upon
the
tops
of
the
mountains,
and
burn
incense
upon
the
hills,
under
oaks
and
poplars
and terebinths,
because
the
shadow
thereof
is
good:
therefore
your
daughters
play
the
harlot,
and
your
brides
commit
adultery.
14 4:14
I
will
not
punish
your
daughters
when
they
play
the
harlot,
nor
your
brides
when
they
commit
adultery;
for
the
men
themselves
go
apart
with
harlots,
and
they
sacrifice
with
the
prostitutes;
and
the
people
that
doth
not
understand
shall
be
overthrown.
15 4:15
Though
thou,
Israel,
play
the
harlot,
yet
let
not
Judah
offend;
and
come
not
ye
unto
Gilgal,
neither
go
ye
up
to
Beth-aven,
nor
swear,
As
Jehovah
liveth.
16 4:16
For
Israel
hath
behaved
himself
stubbornly,
like
a
stubborn
heifer:
now
will
Jehovah
feed
them
as
a
lamb
in
a
large
place.
17 4:17
Ephraim
is
joined
to
idols;
let
him
alone.
18 4:18
Their
drink
is
become
sour;
they
play
the
harlot
continually;
her
rulers
dearly
love
shame.
19 4:19
The
wind
hath
wrapped
her
up
in
its
wings;
and
they
shall
be
put
to
shame
because
of
their
sacrifices.
51 5:1
Hear
this,
O
ye
priests,
and
hearken,
O
house
of
Israel,
and
give
ear,
O
house
of
the
king;
for
unto
you
pertaineth
the
judgment;
for
ye
have
been
a
snare
at
Mizpah,
and
a
net
spread
upon
Tabor.
2 5:2
And
the
revolters
are
gone
deep
in
making
slaughter;
but
I
am
a
rebuker
of
them
all.
3 5:3
I
know
Ephraim,
and
Israel
is
not
hid
from
me;
for
now,
O
Ephraim,
thou
hast
played
the
harlot,
Israel
is
defiled.
4 5:4
Their
doings
will
not
suffer
them
to
turn
unto
their
God;
for
the
spirit
of
whoredom
is
within
them,
and
they
know
not
Jehovah.
5 5:5
And
the
pride
of
Israel
doth
testify
to
his
face:
therefore
Israel
and
Ephraim
shall
stumble
in
their
iniquity;
Judah
also
shall
stumble
with
them.
6 5:6
They
shall
go
with
their
flocks
and
with
their
herds
to
seek
Jehovah;
but
they
shall
not
find
him:
he
hath
withdrawn
himself
from
them.
7 5:7
They
have
dealt
treacherously
against
Jehovah;
for
they
have
borne
strange
children:
now
shall
the
new
moon
devour
them
with
their
fields.
8 5:8
Blow
ye
the
cornet
in
Gibeah,
and
the
trumpet
in
Ramah:
sound
an
alarm
at
Beth-aven;
behind
thee,
O
Benjamin.
9 5:9
Ephraim
shall
become
a
desolation
in
the
day
of
rebuke:
among
the
tribes
of
Israel
have
I
made
known
that
which
shall
surely
be.
10 5:10
The
princes
of
Judah
are
like
them
that
remove
the
landmark:
I
will
pour
out
my
wrath
upon
them
like
water.
11 5:11
Ephraim
is
oppressed,
he
is
crushed
in
judgment;
because
he
was
content
to
walk
after
man’s
command.
12 5:12
Therefore
am
I
unto
Ephraim
as
a
moth,
and
to
the
house
of
Judah
as
rottenness.
13 5:13
When
Ephraim
saw
his
sickness,
and
Judah
saw
his
wound,
then
went
Ephraim
to
Assyria,
and
sent
to
king
Jareb:
but
he
is
not
able
to
heal
you,
neither
will
he
cure
you
of
your
wound.
14 5:14
For
I
will
be
unto
Ephraim
as
a
lion,
and
as
a
young
lion
to
the
house
of
Judah:
I,
even
I,
will
tear
and
go
away;
I
will
carry
off,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
deliver.
15 5:15
I
will
go
and
return
to
my
place,
till
they
acknowledge
their
offence,
and
seek
my
face:
in
their
affliction
they
will
seek
me
earnestly.
61 6:1
Come,
and
let
us
return
unto
Jehovah;
for
he
hath
torn,
and
he
will
heal
us;
he
hath
smitten,
and
he
will
bind
us
up.
2 6:2
After
two
days
will
he
revive
us:
on
the
third
day
he
will
raise
us
up,
and
we
shall
live
before
him.
3 6:3
And
let
us
know,
let
us
follow
on
to
know
Jehovah:
his
going
forth
is
sure
as
the
morning;
and
he
will
come
unto
us
as
the
rain,
as
the
latter
rain
that
watereth
the
earth.
4 6:4
O
Ephraim,
what
shall
I
do
unto
thee?
O
Judah,
what
shall
I
do
unto
thee?
for
your
goodness
is
as
a
morning
cloud,
and
as
the
dew
that
goeth
early
away.
5 6:5
Therefore
have
I
hewed
them
by
the
prophets;
I
have
slain
them
by
the
words
of
my
mouth:
and
thy
judgments
are
as
the
light
that
goeth
forth.
6 6:6
For
I
desire
goodness,
and
not
sacrifice;
and
the
knowledge
of
God
more
than burnt-offerings.
7 6:7
But
they
like
Adam
have
transgressed
the
covenant:
there
have
they
dealt
treacherously
against
me.
8 6:8
Gilead
is
a
city
of
them
that
work
iniquity;
it
is
stained
with
blood.
9 6:9
And
as
troops
of
robbers
wait
for
a
man,
so
the
company
of
priests
murder
in
the
way
toward
Shechem;
yea,
they
have
committed
lewdness.
10 6:10
In
the
house
of
Israel
I
have
seen
a
horrible
thing:
there
whoredom
is
found
in
Ephraim,
Israel
is
defiled.
11 6:11
Also,
O
Judah,
there
is
a
harvest
appointed
for
thee,
when
I
bring
back
the
captivity
of
my
people.
71 7:1
When
I
would
heal
Israel,
then
is
the
iniquity
of
Ephraim
uncovered,
and
the
wickedness
of
Samaria;
for
they
commit
falsehood,
and
the
thief
entereth
in,
and
the
troop
of
robbers ravageth
without.
2 7:2
And
they
consider
not
in
their
hearts
that
I
remember
all
their
wickedness:
now
have
their
own
doings
beset
them
about;
they
are
before
my
face.
3 7:3
They
make
the
king
glad
with
their
wickedness,
and
the
princes
with
their
lies.
4 7:4
They
are
all
adulterers;
they
are
as
an
oven
heated
by
the
baker;
he
ceaseth
to
stir
the
fire,
from
the
kneading
of
the
dough,
until
it
be
leavened.
5 7:5
On
the
day
of
our
king
the
princes
made
themselves
sick
with
the
heat
of
wine;
he
stretched
out
his
hand
with
scoffers.
6 7:6
For
they
have
made
ready
their
heart
like
an
oven,
while
they
lie
in
wait:
their
baker
sleepeth
all
the
night;
in
the
morning
it
burneth
as
a
flaming
fire.
7 7:7
They
are
all
hot
as
an
oven,
and
devour
their
judges;
all
their
kings
are
fallen:
there
is
none
among
them
that
calleth
unto
me.
8 7:8
Ephraim,
he mixeth
himself
among
the
peoples;
Ephraim
is
a
cake
not
turned.
9 7:9
Strangers
have
devoured
his
strength,
and
he
knoweth
it
not:
yea,
gray
hairs
are
here
and
there
upon
him,
and
he
knoweth
it
not.
10 7:10
And
the
pride
of
Israel
doth
testify
to
his
face:
yet
they
have
not
returned
unto
Jehovah
their
God,
nor
sought
him,
for
all
this.
11 7:11
And
Ephraim
is
like
a
silly
dove,
without
understanding:
they
call
unto
Egypt,
they
go
to
Assyria.
12 7:12
When
they
shall
go,
I
will
spread
my
net
upon
them;
I
will
bring
them
down
as
the
birds
of
the
heavens;
I
will
chastise
them,
as
their
congregation
hath
heard.
13 7:13
Woe
unto
them!
for
they
have
wandered
from
me;
destruction
unto
them!
for
they
have
trespassed
against
me:
though
I
would
redeem
them,
yet
they
have
spoken
lies
against
me.
14 7:14
And
they
have
not
cried
unto
me
with
their
heart,
but
they
howl
upon
their
beds:
they
assemble
themselves
for
grain
and
new
wine;
they
rebel
against
me.
15 7:15
Though
I
have
taught
and
strengthened
their
arms,
yet
do
they
devise
mischief
against
me.
16 7:16
They
return,
but
not
to
him
that
is
on
high;
they
are
like
a
deceitful
bow;
their
princes
shall
fall
by
the
sword
for
the
rage
of
their
tongue:
this
shall
be
their
derision
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
81 8:1
Set
the
trumpet
to
thy
mouth.
As
an
eagle
he
cometh
against
the
house
of
Jehovah,
because
they
have
transgressed
my
covenant,
and
trespassed
against
my
law.
2 8:2
They
shall
cry
unto
me,
My
God,
we
Israel
know
thee.
3 8:3
Israel
hath
cast
off
that
which
is
good:
the
enemy
shall
pursue
him.
4 8:4
They
have
set
up
kings,
but
not
by
me;
they
have
made
princes,
and
I
knew
it
not:
of
their
silver
and
their
gold
have
they
made
them
idols,
that
they
may
be
cut
off.
5 8:5
He
hath
cast
off
thy
calf,
O
Samaria;
mine
anger
is
kindled
against
them:
how
long
will
it
be
ere
they
attain
to
innocency?
6 8:6
For
from
Israel
is
even
this;
the
workman
made
it,
and
it
is
no
God;
yea,
the
calf
of
Samaria
shall
be
broken
in
pieces.
7 8:7
For
they
sow
the
wind,
and
they
shall
reap
the
whirlwind:
he
hath
no
standing
grain;
the
blade
shall
yield
no
meal;
if
so
be
it
yield,
strangers
shall
swallow
it
up.
8 8:8
Israel
is
swallowed
up:
now
are
they
among
the
nations
as
a
vessel
wherein
none
delighteth.
9 8:9
For
they
are
gone
up
to
Assyria,
like
a
wild
ass
alone
by
himself:
Ephraim
hath
hired
lovers.
10 8:10
Yea,
though
they
hire
among
the
nations,
now
will
I
gather
them;
and
they
begin
to
be
diminished
by
reason
of
the
burden
of
the
king
of
princes.
11 8:11
Because
Ephraim
hath
multiplied
altars
for
sinning,
altars
have
been
unto
him
for
sinning.
12 8:12
I
wrote
for
him
the
ten
thousand
things
of
my
law;
but
they
are
counted
as
a
strange
thing.
13 8:13
As
for
the
sacrifices
of
mine
offerings,
they
sacrifice
flesh
and
eat
it;
but
Jehovah
accepteth
them
not:
now
will
he
remember
their
iniquity,
and
visit
their
sins;
they
shall
return
to
Egypt.
14 8:14
For
Israel
hath
forgotten
his
Maker,
and
builded
palaces;
and
Judah
hath
multiplied
fortified
cities:
but
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
his
cities,
and
it
shall
devour
the
castles
thereof.
91 9:1
Rejoice
not,
O
Israel,
for
joy,
like
the
peoples;
for
thou
hast
played
the
harlot,
departing
from
thy
God;
thou
hast
loved
hire
upon
every grain-floor.
2 9:2
The threshing-floor
and
the
winepress
shall
not
feed
them,
and
the
new
wine
shall
fail
her.
3 9:3
They
shall
not
dwell
in Jehovah’s
land;
but
Ephraim
shall
return
to
Egypt,
and
they
shall
eat
unclean
food
in
Assyria.
4 9:4
They
shall
not
pour
out wine-
offerings
to
Jehovah,
neither
shall
they
be
pleasing
unto
him:
their
sacrifices
shall
be
unto
them
as
the
bread
of
mourners;
all
that
eat
thereof
shall
be
polluted;
for
their
bread
shall
be
for
their
appetite;
it
shall
not
come
into
the
house
of
Jehovah.
5 9:5
What
will
ye
do
in
the
day
of
solemn
assembly,
and
in
the
day
of
the
feast
of
Jehovah?
6 9:6
For,
lo,
they
are
gone
away
from
destruction;
yet
Egypt
shall
gather
them
up,
Memphis
shall
bury
them;
their
pleasant
things
of
silver,
nettles
shall
possess
them;
thorns
shall
be
in
their
tents.
7 9:7
The
days
of
visitation
are
come,
the
days
of
recompense
are
come;
Israel
shall
know
it:
the
prophet
is
a
fool,
the
man
that
hath
the
spirit
is
mad,
for
the
abundance
of
thine
iniquity,
and
because
the
enmity
is
great.
8 9:8
Ephraim
was
a
watchman
with
my
God:
as
for
the
prophet,
a fowler’s
snare
is
in
all
his
ways,
and
enmity
in
the
house
of
his
God.
9 9:9
They
have
deeply
corrupted
themselves,
as
in
the
days
of
Gibeah:
he
will
remember
their
iniquity,
he
will
visit
their
sins.
10 9:10
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
unto
the
shameful
thing,
and
became
abominable
like
that
which
they
loved.
11 9:11
As
for
Ephraim,
their
glory
shall
fly
away
like
a
bird:
there
shall
be
no
birth,
and
none
with
child,
and
no
conception.
12 9:12
Though
they
bring
up
their
children,
yet
will
I
bereave
them,
so
that
not
a
man
shall
be
left:
yea,
woe
also
to
them
when
I
depart
from
them!
13 9:13
Ephraim,
like
as
I
have
seen
Tyre,
is
planted
in
a
pleasant
place:
but
Ephraim
shall
bring
out
his
children
to
the
slayer.
14 9:14
Give
them,
O
Jehovah—what
wilt
thou
give?
give
them
a
miscarrying
womb
and
dry
breasts.
15 9:15
All
their
wickedness
is
in
Gilgal;
for
there
I
hated
them:
because
of
the
wickedness
of
their
doings
I
will
drive
them
out
of
my
house;
I
will
love
them
no
more;
all
their
princes
are
revolters.
16 9:16
Ephraim
is
smitten,
their
root
is
dried
up,
they
shall
bear
no
fruit:
yea,
though
they
bring
forth,
yet
will
I
slay
the
beloved
fruit
of
their
womb.
17 9:17
My
God
will
cast
them
away,
because
they
did
not
hearken
unto
him;
and
they
shall
be
wanderers
among
the
nations.
101 10:1
Israel
is
a
luxuriant
vine,
that
putteth
forth
his
fruit:
according
to
the
abundance
of
his
fruit
he
hath
multiplied
his
altars;
according
to
the
goodness
of
their
land
they
have
made
goodly
pillars.
2 10:2
Their
heart
is
divided;
now
shall
they
be
found
guilty:
he
will
smite
their
altars,
he
will
destroy
their
pillars.
3 10:3
Surely
now
shall
they
say,
We
have
no
king;
for
we
fear
not
Jehovah;
and
the
king,
what
can
he
do
for
us?
4 10:4
They
speak
vain
words,
swearing
falsely
in
making
covenants:
therefore
judgment
springeth
up
as
hemlock
in
the
furrows
of
the
field.
5 10:5
The
inhabitants
of
Samaria
shall
be
in
terror
for
the
calves
of
Beth-aven;
for
the
people
thereof
shall
mourn
over
it,
and
the
priests
thereof
that
rejoiced
over
it,
for
the
glory
thereof,
because
it
is
departed
from
it.
6 10:6
It
also
shall
be
carried
unto
Assyria
for
a
present
to
king
Jareb:
Ephraim
shall
receive
shame,
and
Israel
shall
be
ashamed
of
his
own
counsel.
7 10:7
As
for
Samaria,
her
king
is
cut
off,
as
foam
upon
the
water.
8 10:8
The
high
places
also
of
Aven,
the
sin
of
Israel,
shall
be
destroyed:
the
thorn
and
the
thistle
shall
come
up
on
their
altars;
and
they
shall
say
to
the
mountains,
Cover
us;
and
to
the
hills,
Fall
on
us.
9 10:9
O
Israel,
thou
hast
sinned
from
the
days
of
Gibeah:
there
they
stood;
the
battle
against
the
children
of
iniquity
doth
not
overtake
them
in
Gibeah.
10 10:10
When
it
is
my
desire,
I
will
chastise
them;
and
the
peoples
shall
be
gathered
against
them,
when
they
are
bound
to
their
two
transgressions.
11 10:11
And
Ephraim
is
a
heifer
that
is
taught,
that
loveth
to
tread
out
the
grain;
but
I
have
passed
over
upon
her
fair
neck:
I
will
set
a
rider
on
Ephraim;
Judah
shall
plow,
Jacob
shall
break
his
clods.
12 10:12
Sow
to
yourselves
in
righteousness,
reap
according
to
kindness;
break
up
your
fallow
ground;
for
it
is
time
to
seek
Jehovah,
till
he
come
and
rain
righteousness
upon
you.
13 10:13
Ye
have
plowed
wickedness,
ye
have
reaped
iniquity;
ye
have
eaten
the
fruit
of
lies;
for
thou
didst
trust
in
thy
way,
in
the
multitude
of
thy
mighty
men.
14 10:14
Therefore
shall
a
tumult
arise
among
thy
people,
and
all
thy
fortresses
shall
be
destroyed,
as
Shalman
destroyed
Beth-arbel
in
the
day
of
battle:
the
mother
was
dashed
in
pieces
with
her
children.
15 10:15
So
shall
Beth-el
do
unto
you
because
of
your
great
wickedness:
at
daybreak
shall
the
king
of
Israel
be
utterly
cut
off.
111 11:1
When
Israel
was
a
child,
then
I
loved
him,
and
called
my
son
out
of
Egypt.
2 11:2
The
more
the
prophets
called
them,
the
more
they
went
from
them:
they
sacrificed
unto
the
Baalim,
and
burned
incense
to
graven
images.
3 11:3
Yet
I
taught
Ephraim
to
walk;
I
took
them
on
my
arms;
but
they
knew
not
that
I
healed
them.
4 11:4
I
drew
them
with
cords
of
a
man,
with
bands
of
love;
and
I
was
to
them
as
they
that
lift
up
the
yoke
on
their
jaws;
and
I
laid
food
before
them.
5 11:5
They
shall
not
return
into
the
land
of
Egypt;
but
the
Assyrian
shall
be
their
king,
because
they
refused
to
return
to
me.
6 11:6
And
the
sword
shall
fall
upon
their
cities,
and
shall
consume
their
bars,
and
devour
them,
because
of
their
own
counsels.
7 11:7
And
my
people
are
bent
on
backsliding
from
me:
though
they
call
them
to
him
that
is
on
high,
none
at
all
will
exalt
him.
8 11:8
How
shall
I
give
thee
up,
Ephraim?
how
shall
I
cast
thee
off,
Israel?
how
shall
I
make
thee
as
Admah?
how
shall
I
set
thee
as
Zeboiim?
my
heart
is
turned
within
me,
my
compassions
are
kindled
together.
9 11:9
I
will
not
execute
the
fierceness
of
mine
anger,
I
will
not
return
to
destroy
Ephraim:
for
I
am
God,
and
not
man;
the
Holy
One
in
the
midst
of
thee;
and
I
will
not
come
in
wrath.
10 11:10
They
shall
walk
after
Jehovah,
who
will
roar
like
a
lion;
for
he
will
roar,
and
the
children
shall
come
trembling
from
the
west.
11 11:11
They
shall
come
trembling
as
a
bird
out
of
Egypt,
and
as
a
dove
out
of
the
land
of
Assyria;
and
I
will
make
them
to
dwell
in
their
houses,
saith
Jehovah.
12 11:12
Ephraim
compasseth
me
about
with
falsehood,
and
the
house
of
Israel
with
deceit;
but
Judah
yet
ruleth
with
God,
and
is
faithful
with
the
Holy
One.
121 12:1
Ephraim
feedeth
on
wind,
and
followeth
after
the
east
wind:
he
continually
multiplieth
lies
and
desolation;
and
they
make
a
covenant
with
Assyria,
and
oil
is
carried
into
Egypt.
2 12:2
Jehovah
hath
also
a
controversy
with
Judah,
and
will
punish
Jacob
according
to
his
ways;
according
to
his
doings
will
he
recompense
him.
3 12:3
In
the
womb
he
took
his
brother
by
the
heel;
and
in
his
manhood
he
had
power
with
God:
4 12:4
yea,
he
had
power
over
the
angel,
and
prevailed;
he
wept,
and
made
supplication
unto
him:
he
found
him
at
Beth-el,
and
there
he
spake
with
us,
5 12:5
even
Jehovah,
the
God
of
hosts;
Jehovah
is
his
memorial
name.
6 12:6
Therefore
turn
thou
to
thy
God:
keep
kindness
and
justice,
and
wait
for
thy
God
continually.
7 12:7
He
is
a trafficker,
the
balances
of
deceit
are
in
his
hand:
he
loveth
to
oppress.
8 12:8
And
Ephraim
said,
Surely
I
am
become
rich,
I
have
found
me
wealth:
in
all
my
labors
they
shall
find
in
me
no
iniquity
that
were
sin.
9 12:9
But
I
am
Jehovah
thy
God
from
the
land
of
Egypt;
I
will
yet
again
make
thee
to
dwell
in
tents,
as
in
the
days
of
the
solemn
feast.
10 12:10
I
have
also
spoken
unto
the
prophets,
and
I
have
multiplied
visions;
and
by
the
ministry
of
the
prophets
have
I
used
similitudes.
11 12:11
Is
Gilead
iniquity?
they
are
altogether
false;
in
Gilgal
they
sacrifice
bullocks;
yea,
their
altars
are
as
heaps
in
the
furrows
of
the
field.
12 12:12
And
Jacob
fled
into
the
field
of
Aram,
and
Israel
served
for
a
wife,
and
for
a
wife
he
kept
sheep.
13 12:13
And
by
a
prophet
Jehovah
brought
Israel
up
out
of
Egypt,
and
by
a
prophet
was
he
preserved.
14 12:14
Ephraim
hath
provoked
to
anger
most
bitterly:
therefore
shall
his
blood
be
left
upon
him,
and
his
reproach
shall
his
Lord
return
unto
him.
131 13:1
When
Ephraim
spake,
there
was
trembling;
he
exalted
himself
in
Israel;
but
when
he
offended
in
Baal,
he
died.
2 13:2
And
now
they
sin
more
and
more,
and
have
made
them
molten
images
of
their
silver,
even
idols
according
to
their
own
understanding,
all
of
them
the
work
of
the
craftsmen:
they
say
of
them,
Let
the
men
that
sacrifice
kiss
the
calves.
3 13:3
Therefore
they
shall
be
as
the
morning
cloud,
and
as
the
dew
that
passeth
early
away,
as
the
chaff
that
is
driven

smoke
out
of

I
am
Jehovah
thy
God
from
the

me,

me
there
is
no

in

to
their
pasture,

were

heart
was

they
forgotten
me.

am
I
unto
them
as
a
lion;

a
leopard

by
the
way;

will
meet
them
as
a
bear
that
is
bereaved
of
her
whelps,
and
will
rend
the
caul
of
their
heart;

I
devour
them
like
a
lioness;

wild
beast
shall
tear
them.

is
thy
king,

may

thee
in

thy
cities?

me
a
king
and
princes?

thee
a
king
in

anger,
and
have
taken
him
away
in
my
wrath.

place

forth
of

them
from
the
power
of
Sheol;

will
redeem
them
from
death:

death,

are
thy
plagues?

is
thy
destruction?

eyes.

his
brethren,

transgressors
shall
fall
therein.
