{\MT HOSEA.

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
of
the
LORD
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.
\VS{2}When
the
LORD
spake
at
the
first
by
Hosea,
the
LORD
said
unto
Hosea,
Go,
take
unto
thee
a
wife
of
whoredom
and
children
of
whoredom:
for
the
land
doth
commit
great
whoredom,
departing
from
the
LORD.
\VS{3}So
he
went
and
took
Gomer
the
daughter
of
Diblaim;
and
she
conceived,
and
bare
him
a
son.
\VS{4}And
the
LORD
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.
\VS{5}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
that
day,
that
I
will
break
the
bow
of
Israel
in
the
valley
of
Jezreel.
\VS{6}And
she
conceived
again,
and
bare
a
daughter.
And
{\ADD{
the
LORD
}}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.
\VS{7}But
I
will
have
mercy
upon
the
house
of
Judah,
and
will
save
them
by
the
LORD
their
God,
and
will
not
save
them
by
bow,
nor
by
sword,
nor
by
battle,
by
horses,
nor
by
horsemen.
\VS{8}Now
when
she
had
weaned
Lo-ruhamah,
she
conceived,
and
bare
a
son.
\VS{9}And
{\ADD{
the
LORD
}}said,
Call
his
name
Lo-ammi:
for
ye
are
not
my
people,
and
I
will
not
be
your
{\ADD{
God}}.
\VS{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,
{\ADD{
Ye
are
}}the
sons
of
the
living
God.
\VS{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.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Say
ye
unto
your
brethren,
Ammi;
and
to
your
sisters,
Ruhamah.
\VS{2}Plead
with
your
mother,
plead;
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;
\VS{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;
\VS{4}Yea,
upon
her
children
will
I
have
no
mercy;
for
they
be
children
of
whoredom.
\VS{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.
\VS{6}Therefore,
behold,
I
will
hedge
up
thy
way
with
thorns,
and
I
will
make
a
fence
against
her,
that
she
shall
not
find
her
paths.
\VS{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.
\VS{8}For
she
did
not
know
that
I
gave
her
the
corn,
and
the
wine,
and
the
oil,
and
multiplied
unto
her
silver
and
gold,
which
they
used
for
Baal.
\VS{9}Therefore
will
I
take
back
my
corn
in
the
time
thereof,
and
my
wine
in
the
season
thereof,
and
will
pluck
away
my
wool
and
my
flax
which
should
have
covered
her
nakedness.
\VS{10}And
now
will
I
discover
her
lewdness
in
the
sight
of
her
lovers,
and
none
shall
deliver
her
out
of
mine
hand.
\VS{11}I
will
also
cause
all
her
mirth
to
cease,
her
feasts,
her
new
moons,
and
her
sabbaths,
and
all
her
solemn
assemblies.
\VS{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.
\VS{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
the
LORD.
\VS{14}Therefore,
behold,
I
will
allure
her,
and
bring
her
into
the
wilderness,
and
speak
comfortably
unto
her.
\VS{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.
\VS{16}And
it
shall
be
at
that
day,
saith
the
LORD,
that
thou shalt
call
me
Ishi;
and shalt
call
me
no
more
Baali.
\VS{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.
\VS{18}And
in
that
day
will
I
make
a
covenant
for
them
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
with
the
fowls
of
heaven,
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.
\VS{19}And
I
will
betroth
thee
unto
me
for
ever;
yea,
I
will
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
righteousness,
and
in
judgment,
and
in
lovingkindness,
and
in
mercies.
\VS{20}I
will
even
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
faithfulness:
and
thou shalt
know
the
LORD.
\VS{21}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
I
will
answer,
saith
the
LORD,
I
will
answer
the
heavens,
and
they
shall
answer
the
earth;
\VS{22}and
the
earth
shall
answer
the
corn,
and
the
wine,
and
the
oil;
and
they
shall
answer
Jezreel.
\VS{23}And
I
wilt
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
which
were
not
my
people,
Thou
art
my
people;
and
they
shall
say,
{\ADD{
Thou
art
}}my
God.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Go
yet,
love
a
woman
beloved
of
{\ADD{
her
}}friend
and
an
adulteress,
even
as
the
LORD
loveth
the
children
of
Israel,
though
they
turn
unto
other
gods,
and
love
cakes
of
raisins.
\VS{2}So
I
bought
her
to
me
for
fifteen
{\ADD{
pieces
}}of
silver,
and
an
homer
of
barley,
and
an
half
homer
of
barley:
\VS{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.
\VS{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.
\VS{5}afterward
shall
the
children
of
Israel
return,
and
seek
the
LORD
their
God,
and
David
their
king;
and
shall
come
with
fear
unto
the
LORD
and
to
his
goodness
in
the
latter
days.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
ye
children
of
Israel:
for
the
LORD
hath
a
controversy
with
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
because
there
is
no
truth,
nor
mercy,
nor
knowledge
of
God
in
the
land.
\VS{2}There
is
nought
but
swearing
and
breaking
faith,
and
killing,
and
stealing,
and
committing
adultery;
they
break
out,
and
blood
toucheth
blood.
\VS{3}Therefore
shall
the
land
mourn,
and
every
one
that
dwelleth
therein
shall
languish,
with
the
beasts
of
the
field
and
the
fowls
of
heaven;
yea,
the
fishes
of
the
sea
also
shall
be
taken
away.
\VS{4}Yet
let
no
man
strive,
neither
let
any
man
reprove;
for
thy
people
are
as
they
that
strive
with
the
priest.
\VS{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.
\VS{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.
\VS{7}As
they
were
multiplied,
so
they
sinned
against
me:
I
will
change
their
glory
into
shame.
\VS{8}They
feed
on
the
sin
of
my
people,
and
set
their
heart
on
their
iniquity.
\VS{9}And
it
shall
be,
like
people,
like
priest:
and
I
will
punish
them
for
their
ways,
and
will
reward
them
their
doings.
\VS{10}And
they
shall
eat,
and
not
have
enough;
they
shall
commit
whoredom,
and
shall
not
increase:
because
they
have
left
off
to
take
heed
to
the
LORD.
\VS{11}Whoredom
and
wine
and
new
wine
take
away
the
understanding.
\VS{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
gone
a
whoring
from
under
their
God.
\VS{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
commit
whoredom,
and
your
brides
commit
adultery.
\VS{14}I
will
not
punish
your
daughters
when
they
commit
whoredom,
nor
your
brides
when
they
commit
adultery;
for
they
themselves
go
apart
with
whores,
and
they
sacrifice
with
the
harlots:
and
the
people
that
doth
not
understand
shall
be
overthrown.
\VS{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
the
LORD
liveth.
\VS{16}For
Israel
hath
behaved
himself
stubbornly,
like
a
stubborn
heifer:
now
will
the
LORD
feed
them
as
a
lamb
in
a
large
place.
\VS{17}Ephraim
is
joined
to
idols;
let
him
alone.
\VS{18}Their
drink
is
become
sour:
they
commit
whoredom
continually;
her
rulers
dearly
love
shame.
\VS{19}The
wind
hath
wrapped
her
up
in
its
wings;
and
they
shall
be
ashamed
because
of
their
sacrifices.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Hear
this,
O
ye
priests,
and
hearken,
ye
house
of
Israel,
and
give
ear,
O
house
of
the
king,
for
unto
you pertain
the
judgment;
for
ye
have
been
a
snare
at
Mizpah,
and
a
net
spread
upon
Tabor.
\VS{2}And
the
revolters
are
gone
deep
in
making
slaughter;
but
I
am
a
rebuker
of
them
all.
\VS{3}I
know
Ephraim,
and
Israel
is
not
hid
from
me:
for
now,
O
Ephraim,
thou
hast
committed
whoredom,
Israel
is
defiled.
\VS{4}Their
doings
will
not
suffer
them
to
turn
unto
their
God:
for
the
spirit
of
whoredom
is
within
them,
and
they
know
not
the
LORD.
\VS{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.
\VS{6}They
shall
go
with
their
flocks
and
with
their
herds
to
seek
the
LORD;
but
they
shall
not
find
him:
he
hath
withdrawn
himself
from
them.
\VS{7}They
have
dealt
treacherously
against
the
LORD;
for
they
have
borne
strange
children:
now
shall
the
new
moon
devour
them
with
their
fields.
\VS{8}Blow
ye
the
cornet
in
Gibeah,
and
the
trumpet
in
Ramah:
sound
an
alarm
at
Beth-aven;
behind
thee,
O
Benjamin.
\VS{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.
\VS{10}The
princes
of
Judah
are
like
them
that
remove
the
landmark:
I
will
pour
out
my
wrath
upon
them
like
water.
\VS{11}Ephraim
is
oppressed,
he
is
crushed
in
judgment;
because
he
was
content
to
walk
after
the
command.
\VS{12}Therefore
am
I
unto
Ephraim
as
a
moth,
and
to
the
house
of
Judah
as
rottenness.
\VS{13}When
Ephraim
saw
his
sickness,
and
Judah
{\ADD{
saw
}}his
wound,
then
went
Ephraim
to
Assyria,
and
sent
to
king
Jareb:
but
he
is
not
able
to
heal
you,
neither
shall
he
cure
you
of
your
wound.
\VS{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.
\VS{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.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Come,
and
let
us
return
unto
the
LORD:
for
he
hath
torn,
and
he
will
heal
us;
he
hath
smitten,
and
he
will
bind
us
up.
\VS{2}After
two
days
will
he
revive
us:
on
the
third
day
he
will
raise
us
up,
and
we
shall
live
before
him.
\VS{3}And
let
us
know,
let

to
know
the

his
going
forth
is
sure
as
the
morning:
and

shall
come
unto

as
the
rain,
as
the
latter

that
watereth

earth.
\VS{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.
\VS{5}Therefore
have
I
hewed
them
by
the
prophets;
I
have
slain
them
by
the
words
of
my
mouth:
and
thy
judgments
are
{\ADD{
as
}}the
light
that
goeth
forth.
\VS{6}For
I
desire
mercy,
and
not
sacrifice;
and
the
knowledge
of
God
more
than
burnt
offerings.
\VS{7}But
they
like
Adam
have
transgressed
the
covenant:
there
have
they
dealt
treacherously
against
me.
\VS{8}Gilead
is
a
city
of
them
that
work
iniquity,
it
is
stained
with
blood.
\VS{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.
\VS{10}In
the
house
of
Israel
I
have
seen
an
horrible
thing:
there
whoredom
is
{\ADD{
found
}}in
Ephraim,
Israel
is
defiled.
\VS{11}Also,
O
Judah,
there
is
an
harvest
appointed
for
thee,
when
I
bring
again
the
captivity
of
my
people.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}When
I
would
heal
Israel,
then
is
the
iniquity
of
Ephraim
discovered,

commit
falsehood:

thief
entereth

not

me.
\VS{7}Therefore
am
I
unto
them
as
a
lion:
as
a
leopard
will
I
watch
by
the
way:
\VS{8}I
will
meet
them
as
a
bear
that
is
bereaved
of
her
whelps,
and
will
rend
the
caul
of
their
heart:
and
there
will
I
devour
them
like
a
lion;
the
wild
beast
shall
tear
them.
\VS{9}It
is
thy
destruction,
O
Israel,
that
{\ADD{
thou
art
}}against
me,
against
thy
help.
\VS{10}Where
now
is
thy
king,
that
he
may
save
thee
in
all
thy
cities?
and
thy
judges,
of
whom
thou
saidst,
Give
me
a
king
and
princes?
\VS{11}I
have
given
thee
a
king
in
mine
anger,
and
have
taken
him
away
in
my
wrath.
\VS{12}The
iniquity
of
Ephraim
is
bound
up;
his
sin
is
laid
up
in
store.
\VS{13}The
sorrows
of
a travailing
woman
shall
come
upon
him:
he
is
an
unwise
son;
for
it
is
time
he
should
not
tarry
in
the
place
of
the
breaking
forth
of
children.
\VS{14}I
will
ransom
them
from
the
power
of
the
grave;
I
will
redeem
them
from
death:
O
death,
where
are
thy
plagues?
O
grave,
where
is
thy
destruction?
repentance
shall
be
hid
from
mine
eyes.
\VS{15}Though
he
be
fruitful
among
his
brethren,
an
east
wind
shall
come,
the
breath
of
the
LORD
coming
up
from
the
wilderness,
and
his
spring
shall
become
dry,
and
his
fountain
shall
be
dried
up:
he
shall
spoil
the
treasure
of
all
pleasant
vessels.
\VS{16}Samaria
shall
bear
her
guilt;
for
she
hath
rebelled
against
her
God:
they
shall
fall
by
the
sword;
their
infants
shall
be
dashed
in
pieces,
and
their
women
with
child
shall
be
ripped
up.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}O
ISRAEL,
return
unto
the
LORD
thy
God;
for
thou
hast
fallen
by
thine
iniquity.
\VS{2}Take
with
you
words,
and
return
unto
the
LORD:
say
unto
him,
Take
away
all
iniquity,
and
accept
that
which
is
good:
so
will
we
render
{\ADD{
as
}}bullocks
{\ADD{
the
offering
of
}}our
lips.
\VS{3}Asshur
shall
not
save
us;
we
will
not
ride
upon
horses:
neither
will
we
say
any
more
to
the
work
of
our
hands,
{\ADD{
Ye
are
}}our
gods:
for
in
thee
the
fatherless
findeth
mercy.
\VS{4}I
will
heal
their
backsliding,
I
will
love
them
freely:
for
mine
anger
is
turned
away
from
him.
\VS{5}I
will
be
as
the
dew
unto
Israel:
he
shall
blossom
as
the
lily,
and
cast
forth
his
roots
as
Lebanon.
\VS{6}His
branches
shall
spread,
and
his
beauty
shall
be
as
the
olive
tree,
and
his
smell
as
Lebanon.
\VS{7}They
that
dwell
under
his
shadow
shall
return;
they
shall
revive
{\ADD{
as
}}the
corn,
and
blossom
as
the
vine:
the
scent
thereof
shall
be
as
the
wine
of
Lebanon.
\VS{8}Ephraim
{\ADD{
shall
say}},
What
have
I
to
do
any
more
with
idols?
I
have
answered,
and
will
regard
him:
I
am
like
a
green
fir
tree;
from
me
is
thy
fruit
found.
\VS{9}Who
is
wise,
and
he
shall
understand
these
things?
prudent,
and
he
shall
know
them?
for
the
ways
of
the
LORD
are
right,
and
the
just
shall
walk
in
them;
but
transgressors
shall
fall
therein.
