Hos 01:01 ¶ The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came unto
Hosea <01954>, the son <01121> of Beeri <0882>, in the days
<03117> of Uzziah <05818>, Jotham <03147>, Ahaz <0271>, and
Hezekiah <03169>, kings <04428> of Judah <03063>, and in the
days <03117> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Joash
<03101>, king <04428> of Israel <03478>.
Hos 01:02 ¶ The beginning <08462> of the word <01696> (8763) of
the LORD <03068> by Hosea <01954>. And the LORD <03068> said
<0559> (8799) to Hosea <01954>, Go <03212> (8798), take <03947>
(8798) unto thee a wife <0802> of whoredoms <02183> and children
<03206> of whoredoms <02183>: for the land <0776> hath committed
great <02181> (8800) whoredom <02181> (8799), departing from
<0310> the LORD <03068>.
Hos 01:03 So he went <03212> (8799) and took <03947> (8799)
Gomer <01586> the daughter <01323> of Diblaim <01691>; which
conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) him a son
<01121>.
Hos 01:04 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him,
Call <07121> (8798) his name <08034> Jezreel <03157>; for yet a
little <04592> while, and I will avenge <06485> (8804) the blood
<01818> of Jezreel <03157> upon the house <01004> of Jehu
<03058>, and will cause to cease <07673> (8689) the kingdom
<04468> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.
Hos 01:05 And it shall come to pass at that day <03117>, that I
will break <07665> (8804) the bow <07198> of Israel <03478> in
the valley <06010> of Jezreel <03157>.
Hos 01:06 And she conceived again <02029> (8799), and bare
<03205> (8799) a daughter <01323>. And God said <0559> (8799)
unto him, Call <07121> (8798) her name <08034> Loruhamah <03819>
(8795): for I will no more <03254> (8686) have mercy <07355>
(8762) upon the house <01004> of Israel <03478>; but I will
utterly <05375> (8800) take them away <05375> (8799).
Hos 01:07 But I will have mercy <07355> (8762) upon the house
<01004> of Judah <03063>, and will save <03467> (8689) them by
the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and will not save <03467>
(8686) them by bow <07198>, nor by sword <02719>, nor by battle
<04421>, by horses <05483>, nor by horsemen <06571>.
Hos 01:08 ¶ Now when she had weaned <01580> (8799) Loruhamah
<03819> (8795), she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205>
(8799) a son <01121>.
Hos 01:09 Then said <0559> (8799) God, Call <07121> (8798) his
name <08034> Loammi <03818>: for ye are not my people <05971>,
and I will not be your God.
Hos 01:10 Yet the number <04557> of the children <01121> of
Israel <03478> shall be as the sand <02344> of the sea <03220>,
which cannot be measured <04058> (8735) nor numbered <05608>
(8735); and it shall come to pass, that in the place <04725>
where it was said <0559> (8735) unto them, Ye are not my people
<05971>, there it shall be said <0559> (8735) unto them, Ye are
the sons <01121> of the living <02416> God <0410>.
Hos 01:11 Then shall the children <01121> of Judah <03063> and
the children <01121> of Israel <03478> be gathered <06908>
(8738) together <03162>, and appoint <07760> (8804) themselves
one <0259> head <07218>, and they shall come up <05927> (8804)
out of the land <0776>: for great <01419> shall be the day
<03117> of Jezreel <03157>.
Hos 02:01 ¶ Say <0559> (8798) ye unto your brethren <0251>, Ammi
<05971>; and to your sisters <0269>, Ruhamah <07355> (8795).
Hos 02:02 Plead <07378> (8798) with your mother <0517>, plead
<07378> (8798): for she is not my wife <0802>, neither am I her
husband <0376>: let her therefore put away <05493> (8686) her
whoredoms <02183> out of her sight <06440>, and her adulteries
<05005> from between her breasts <07699>;
Hos 02:03 Lest I strip <06584> (8686) her naked <06174>, and
set <03322> (8689) her as in the day <03117> that she was born
<03205> (8736), and make <07760> (8804) her as a wilderness
<04057>, and set <07896> (8804) her like a dry <06723> land
<0776>, and slay <04191> (8689) her with thirst <06772>.
Hos 02:04 And I will not have mercy <07355> (8762) upon her
children <01121>; for they be the children <01121> of whoredoms
<02183>.
Hos 02:05 For their mother <0517> hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804): she that conceived <02029> (8802) them hath done
shamefully <03001> (8689): for she said <0559> (8804), I will go
<03212> (8799) after <0310> my lovers <0157> (8764), that give
<05414> (8802) me my bread <03899> and my water <04325>, my wool
<06785> and my flax <06593>, mine oil <08081> and my drink
<08250>.
Hos 02:06 ¶ Therefore, behold, I will hedge <07753> (8801) up
thy way <01870> with thorns <05518>, and make <01443> (8804) a
wall <01447>, that she shall not find <04672> (8799) her paths
<05410>.
Hos 02:07 And she shall follow <07291> (8765) after her lovers
<0157> (8764), but she shall not overtake <05381> (8686) them;
and she shall seek <01245> (8765) them, but shall not find
<04672> (8799) them: then shall she say <0559> (8804), I will go
<03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) to my first <07223>
husband <0376>; for then was it better <02896> with me than now
<06258>.
Hos 02:08 For she did not know <03045> (8804) that I gave
<05414> (8804) her corn <01715>, and wine <08492>, and oil
<03323>, and multiplied <07235> (8689) her silver <03701> and
gold <02091>, which they prepared <06213> (8804) for Baal
<01168>.
Hos 02:09 Therefore will I return <07725> (8799), and take away
<03947> (8804) my corn <01715> in the time <06256> thereof, and
my wine <08492> in the season <04150> thereof, and will recover
<05337> (8689) my wool <06785> and my flax <06593> given to
cover <03680> (8763) her nakedness <06172>.
Hos 02:10 And now will I discover <01540> (8762) her lewdness
<05040> in the sight <05869> of her lovers <0157> (8764), and
none <0376> shall deliver <05337> (8686) her out of mine hand
<03027>.
Hos 02:11 I will also cause all her mirth <04885> to cease
<07673> (8689), her feast days <02282>, her new moons <02320>,
and her sabbaths <07676>, and all her solemn feasts <04150>.
Hos 02:12 And I will destroy <08074> (8689) her vines <01612>
and her fig trees <08384>, whereof she hath said <0559> (8804),
These are my rewards <0866> that my lovers <0157> (8764) have
given <05414> (8804) me: and I will make <07760> (8804) them a
forest <03293>, and the beasts <02416> of the field <07704>
shall eat <0398> (8804) them.
Hos 02:13 And I will visit <06485> (8804) upon her the days
<03117> of Baalim <01168>, wherein she burned incense <06999>
(8686) to them, and she decked <05710> (8799) herself with her
earrings <05141> and her jewels <02484>, and she went <03212>
(8799) after <0310> her lovers <0157> (8764), and forgat <07911>
(8804) me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
Hos 02:14 ¶ Therefore, behold, I will allure <06601> (8764) her,
and bring <03212> (8689) her into the wilderness <04057>, and
speak <01696> (8765) comfortably <03820> unto her.
Hos 02:15 And I will give <05414> (8804) her her vineyards
<03754> from thence, and the valley <06010> of Achor <05911> for
a door <06607> of hope <08615>: and she shall sing <06030>
(8804) there, as in the days <03117> of her youth <05271>, and
as in the day <03117> when she came up <05927> (8800) out of the
land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
Hos 02:16 And it shall be at that day <03117>, saith <05002>
(8803) the LORD <03068>, that thou shalt call <07121> (8799) me
Ishi <0376>; and shalt call <07121> (8799) me no more Baali
<01180>.
Hos 02:17 For I will take away <05493> (8689) the names <08034>
of Baalim <01168> out of her mouth <06310>, and they shall no
more be remembered <02142> (8735) by their name <08034>.
Hos 02:18 And in that day <03117> will I make <03772> (8804) a
covenant <01285> for them with the beasts <02416> of the field
<07704>, and with the fowls <05775> of heaven <08064>, and with
the creeping things <07431> of the ground <0127>: and I will
break <07665> (8799) the bow <07198> and the sword <02719> and
the battle <04421> out of the earth <0776>, and will make them
to lie down <07901> (8689) safely <0983>.
Hos 02:19 And I will betroth <0781> (8765) thee unto me for
ever <05769>; yea, I will betroth <0781> (8765) thee unto me in
righteousness <06664>, and in judgment <04941>, and in
lovingkindness <02617>, and in mercies <07356>.
Hos 02:20 I will even betroth <0781> (8765) thee unto me in
faithfulness <0530>: and thou shalt know <03045> (8804) the LORD
<03068>.
Hos 02:21 And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, I will
hear <06030> (8799), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, I
will hear <06030> (8799) the heavens <08064>, and they shall
hear <06030> (8799) the earth <0776>;
Hos 02:22 And the earth <0776> shall hear <06030> (8799) the
corn <01715>, and the wine <08492>, and the oil <03323>; and
they shall hear <06030> (8799) Jezreel <03157>.
Hos 02:23 And I will sow <02232> (8804) her unto me in the
earth <0776>; and I will have mercy <07355> (8765) upon her that
had not obtained mercy <07355> (8795) (8677) <03818>; and I will
say <0559> (8804) to them which were not my people <05971>, Thou
art my people <05971>; and they shall say <0559> (8799), Thou
art my God <0430>.
Hos 03:01 ¶ Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068> unto me, Go
<03212> (8798) yet, love <0157> (8798) a woman <0802> beloved
<0157> (8803) of her friend <07453>, yet an adulteress <05003>
(8764), according to the love <0160> of the LORD <03068> toward
the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, who look <06437> (8802)
to other <0312> gods <0430>, and love <0157> (8802) flagons
<0809> of wine <06025>.
Hos 03:02 So I bought <03739> (8799) her to me for fifteen
<06240> <02568> pieces of silver <03701>, and for an homer
<02563> of barley <08184>, and an half homer <03963> of barley
<08184>:
Hos 03:03 And I said <0559> (8799) unto her, Thou shalt abide
<03427> (8799) for me many <07227> days <03117>; thou shalt not
play the harlot <02181> (8799), and thou shalt not be <01961>
(8799) for another man <0376>: so will I also be for thee.
Hos 03:04 For the children <01121> of Israel <03478> shall
abide <03427> (8799) many <07227> days <03117> without a king
<04428>, and without a prince <08269>, and without a sacrifice
<02077>, and without an image <04676>, and without an ephod
<0646>, and without teraphim <08655>:
Hos 03:05 Afterward <0310> shall the children <01121> of Israel
<03478> return <07725> (8799), and seek <01245> (8765) the LORD
<03068> their God <0430>, and David <01732> their king <04428>;
and shall fear <06342> (8804) the LORD <03068> and his goodness
<02898> in the latter <0319> days <03117>.
Hos 04:01 ¶ Hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD
<03068>, ye children <01121> of Israel <03478>: for the LORD
<03068> hath a controversy <07379> with the inhabitants <03427>
(8802) of the land <0776>, because there is no truth <0571>, nor
mercy <02617>, nor knowledge <01847> of God <0430> in the land
<0776>.
Hos 04:02 By swearing <0422> (8800), and lying <03584> (8763),
and killing <07523> (8800), and stealing <01589> (8800), and
committing adultery <05003> (8800), they break out <06555>
(8804), and blood <01818> toucheth <05060> (8804) blood <01818>.
Hos 04:03 Therefore shall the land <0776> mourn <056> (8799),
and every one that dwelleth <03427> (8802) therein shall
languish <0535> (8797), with the beasts <02416> of the field
<07704>, and with the fowls <05775> of heaven <08064>; yea, the
fishes <01709> of the sea <03220> also shall be taken away
<0622> (8735).
Hos 04:04 Yet let no man <0376> strive <07378> (8799), nor
reprove <03198> (8686) another <0376>: for thy people <05971>
are as they that strive <07378> (8688) with the priest <03548>.
Hos 04:05 Therefore shalt thou fall <03782> (8804) in the day
<03117>, and the prophet <05030> also shall fall <03782> (8804)
with thee in the night <03915>, and I will destroy <01820>
(8804) thy mother <0517>.
Hos 04:06 ¶ My people <05971> are destroyed <01820> (8738) for
lack of knowledge <01847>: because thou hast rejected <03988>
(8804) knowledge <01847>, I will also reject <03988> (8799) thee,
that thou shalt be no priest <03547> (8763) to me: seeing thou
hast forgotten <07911> (8799) the law <08451> of thy God <0430>,
I will also forget <07911> (8799) thy children <01121>.
Hos 04:07 As they were increased <07230>, so they sinned
<02398> (8804) against me: therefore will I change <04171>
(8686) their glory <03519> into shame <07036>.
Hos 04:08 They eat up <0398> (8799) the sin <02403> of my
people <05971>, and they set <05375> (8799) their heart <05315>
on their iniquity <05771>.
Hos 04:09 And there shall be, like people <05971>, like priest
<03548>: and I will punish <06485> (8804) them for their ways
<01870>, and reward <07725> (8686) them their doings <04611>.
Hos 04:10 For they shall eat <0398> (8804), and not have enough
<07646> (8799): they shall commit whoredom <02181> (8689), and
shall not increase <06555> (8799): because they have left off
<05800> (8804) to take heed <08104> (8800) to the LORD <03068>.
Hos 04:11 Whoredom <02184> and wine <03196> and new wine
<08492> take away <03947> (8799) the heart <03820>.
Hos 04:12 ¶ My people <05971> ask <07592> (8799) counsel at
their stocks <06086>, and their staff <04731> declareth <05046>
(8686) unto them: for the spirit <07307> of whoredoms <02183>
hath caused them to err <08582> (8689), and they have gone a
whoring <02181> (8799) from under their God <0430>.
Hos 04:13 They sacrifice <02076> (8762) upon the tops <07218>
of the mountains <02022>, and burn incense <06999> (8762) upon
the hills <01389>, under oaks <0437> and poplars <03839> and
elms <0424>, because the shadow <06738> thereof is good <02896>:
therefore your daughters <01323> shall commit whoredom <02181>
(8799), and your spouses <03618> shall commit adultery <05003>
(8762).
Hos 04:14 I will not punish <06485> (8799) your daughters
<01323> when they commit whoredom <02181> (8799), nor your
spouses <03618> when they commit adultery <05003> (8762): for
themselves are separated <06504> (8762) with whores <02181>
(8802), and they sacrifice <02076> (8762) with harlots <06948>:
therefore the people <05971> that doth not understand <0995>
(8799) shall fall <03832> (8735).
Hos 04:15 Though thou, Israel <03478>, play the harlot <02181>
(8802), yet let not Judah <03063> offend <0816> (8799); and come
<0935> (8799) not ye unto Gilgal <01537>, neither go ye up
<05927> (8799) to Bethaven <01007>, nor swear <07650> (8735),
The LORD <03068> liveth <02416>.
Hos 04:16 For Israel <03478> slideth back <05637> (8804) as a
backsliding <05637> (8802) heifer <06510>: now the LORD <03068>
will feed <07462> (8799) them as a lamb <03532> in a large place
<04800>.
Hos 04:17 Ephraim <0669> is joined <02266> (8803) to idols
<06091>: let him alone <03240> (8685).
Hos 04:18 Their drink <05435> is sour <05493> (8804): they have
committed whoredom <02181> (8689) continually <02181> (8687):
her rulers <04043> with shame <07036> do love <0157> (8804),
Give <03051> (8798) ye.
Hos 04:19 The wind <07307> hath bound her up <06887> (8804) in
her wings <03671>, and they shall be ashamed <0954> (8799)
because of their sacrifices <02077>.
Hos 05:01 ¶ Hear <08085> (8798) ye this, O priests <03548>; and
hearken <07181> (8685), ye house <01004> of Israel <03478>; and
give ye ear <0238> (8685), O house <01004> of the king <04428>;
for judgment <04941> is toward you, because ye have been a snare
<06341> on Mizpah <04709>, and a net <07568> spread <06566>
(8803) upon Tabor <08396>.
Hos 05:02 And the revolters <07846> are profound <06009> (8689)
to make slaughter <07819> (8800), though I have been a rebuker
<04148> of them all.
Hos 05:03 I know <03045> (8804) Ephraim <0669>, and Israel
<03478> is not hid <03582> (8738) from me: for now, O Ephraim
<0669>, thou committest whoredom <02181> (8689), and Israel
<03478> is defiled <02930> (8738).
Hos 05:04 They will not frame <05414> (8799) their doings
<04611> to turn <07725> (8800) unto their God <0430>: for the
spirit <07307> of whoredoms <02183> is in the midst <07130> of
them, and they have not known <03045> (8804) the LORD <03068>.
Hos 05:05 And the pride <01347> of Israel <03478> doth testify
<06030> (8804) to his face <06440>: therefore shall Israel
<03478> and Ephraim <0669> fall <03782> (8735) in their iniquity
<05771>; Judah <03063> also shall fall <03782> (8804) with them.
Hos 05:06 They shall go <03212> (8799) with their flocks
<06629> and with their herds <01241> to seek <01245> (8763) the
LORD <03068>; but they shall not find <04672> (8799) him; he
hath withdrawn <02502> (8804) himself from them.
Hos 05:07 They have dealt treacherously <0898> (8804) against
the LORD <03068>: for they have begotten <03205> (8804) strange
<02114> (8801) children <01121>: now shall a month <02320>
devour <0398> (8799) them with their portions <02506>.
Hos 05:08 ¶ Blow <08628> (8798) ye the cornet <07782> in Gibeah
<01390>, and the trumpet <02689> in Ramah <07414>: cry aloud
<07321> (8685) at Bethaven <01007>, after <0310> thee, O
Benjamin <01144>.
Hos 05:09 Ephraim <0669> shall be desolate <08047> in the day
<03117> of rebuke <08433>: among the tribes <07626> of Israel
<03478> have I made known <03045> (8689) that which shall surely
be <0539> (8737).
Hos 05:10 The princes <08269> of Judah <03063> were like them
that remove <05253> (8688) the bound <01366>: therefore I will
pour out <08210> (8799) my wrath <05678> upon them like water
<04325>.
Hos 05:11 Ephraim <0669> is oppressed <06231> (8803) and broken
<07533> (8803) in judgment <04941>, because he willingly <02974>
(8689) walked <01980> (8804) after <0310> the commandment
<06673>.
Hos 05:12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim <0669> as a moth
<06211>, and to the house <01004> of Judah <03063> as rottenness
<07538>.
Hos 05:13 When Ephraim <0669> saw <07200> (8799) his sickness
<02483>, and Judah <03063> saw his wound <04205>, then went
<03212> (8799) Ephraim <0669> to the Assyrian <0804>, and sent
<07971> (8799) to king <04428> Jareb <03377> (8677) <07378>
(8799): yet could <03201> (8799) he not heal <07495> (8800) you,
nor cure <01455> (8799) you of your wound <04205>.
Hos 05:14 For I will be unto Ephraim <0669> as a lion <07826>,
and as a young lion <03715> to the house <01004> of Judah
<03063>: I, even I, will tear <02963> (8799) and go away <03212>
(8799); I will take away <05375> (8799), and none shall rescue
<05337> (8688) him.
Hos 05:15 I will go <03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) to
my place <04725>, till they acknowledge their offence <0816>
(8799), and seek <01245> (8765) my face <06440>: in their
affliction <06862> they will seek me early <07836> (8762).
Hos 06:01 ¶ Come <03212> (8798), and let us return <07725>
(8799) unto the LORD <03068>: for he hath torn <02963> (8804),
and he will heal <07495> (8799) us; he hath smitten <05221>
(8686), and he will bind us up <02280> (8799).
Hos 06:02 After two days <03117> will he revive <02421> (8762)
us: in the third <07992> day <03117> he will raise us up <06965>
(8686), and we shall live <02421> (8799) in his sight <06440>.
Hos 06:03 Then shall we know <03045> (8799), if we follow
<07291> (8799) on to know <03045> (8800) the LORD <03068>: his
going forth <04161> is prepared <03559> (8737) as the morning
<07837>; and he shall come <0935> (8799) unto us as the rain
<01653>, as the latter <04456> and former rain <03384> (8802)
unto the earth <0776>.
Hos 06:04 ¶ O Ephraim <0669>, what shall I do <06213> (8799)
unto thee? O Judah <03063>, what shall I do <06213> (8799) unto
thee? for your goodness <02617> is as a morning <01242> cloud
<06051>, and as the early <07925> (8688) dew <02919> it goeth
away <01980> (8802).
Hos 06:05 Therefore have I hewed <02672> (8804) them by the
prophets <05030>; I have slain <02026> (8804) them by the words
<0561> of my mouth <06310>: and thy judgments <04941> are as the
light <0216> that goeth forth <03318> (8799).
Hos 06:06 For I desired <02654> (8804) mercy <02617>, and not
sacrifice <02077>; and the knowledge <01847> of God <0430> more
than burnt offerings <05930>.
Hos 06:07 But they like men <0120> have transgressed <05674>
(8804) the covenant <01285>: there have they dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804) against me.
Hos 06:08 Gilead <01568> is a city <07151> of them that work
<06466> (8802) iniquity <0205>, and is polluted <06121> with
blood <01818>.
Hos 06:09 And as troops <01416> of robbers wait <02442> (8763)
for a man <0376>, so the company <02267> of priests <03548>
murder <07523> (8762) in the way <01870> by consent <07926>
(8677) <07927>: for they commit <06213> (8804) lewdness <02154>.
Hos 06:10 I have seen <07200> (8804) an horrible thing <08186>
in the house <01004> of Israel <03478>: there is the whoredom
<02184> of Ephraim <0669>, Israel <03478> is defiled <02930>
(8738).
Hos 06:11 Also, O Judah <03063>, he hath set <07896> (8804) an
harvest <07105> for thee, when I returned <07725> (8800) the
captivity <07622> of my people <05971>.
Hos 07:01 ¶ When I would have healed <07495> (8800) Israel
<03478>, then the iniquity <05771> of Ephraim <0669> was
discovered <01540> (8738), and the wickedness <07451> of Samaria
<08111>: for they commit <06466> (8804) falsehood <08267>; and
the thief <01590> cometh in <0935> (8799), and the troop <01416>
of robbers spoileth <06584> (8804) without <02351>.
Hos 07:02 And they consider <0559> (8799) not in their hearts
<03824> that I remember <02142> (8804) all their wickedness
<07451>: now their own doings <04611> have beset them about
<05437> (8804); they are before my face <06440>.
Hos 07:03 They make the king <04428> glad <08055> (8762) with
their wickedness <07451>, and the princes <08269> with their
lies <03585>.
Hos 07:04 They are all adulterers <05003> (8764), as an oven
<08574> heated <01197> (8802) by the baker <0644> (8802), who
ceaseth <07673> (8799) from raising <05782> (8800) after he hath
kneaded <03888> (8800) the dough <01217>, until it be leavened
<02556> (8800).
Hos 07:05 In the day <03117> of our king <04428> the princes
<08269> have made him sick <02470> (8689) with bottles <02534>
of wine <03196>; he stretched out <04900> (8804) his hand
<03027> with scorners <03945> (8802).
Hos 07:06 For they have made ready <07126> (8765) their heart
<03820> like an oven <08574>, whiles they lie in wait <0693>
(8800): their baker <0644> (8802) sleepeth <03463> all the night
<03915>; in the morning <01242> it burneth <01197> (8802) as a
flaming <03852> fire <0784>.
Hos 07:07 They are all hot <02552> (8735) as an oven <08574>,
and have devoured <0398> (8804) their judges <08199> (8802); all
their kings <04428> are fallen <05307> (8804): there is none
among them that calleth <07121> (8802) unto me.
Hos 07:08 ¶ Ephraim <0669>, he hath mixed <01101> (8704) himself
among the people <05971>; Ephraim <0669> is a cake <05692> not
turned <02015> (8803).
Hos 07:09 Strangers <02114> (8801) have devoured <0398> (8804)
his strength <03581>, and he knoweth <03045> (8804) it not: yea,
gray hairs <07872> are here and there <02236> (8804) upon him,
yet he knoweth <03045> (8804) not.
Hos 07:10 And the pride <01347> of Israel <03478> testifieth
<06030> (8804) to his face <06440>: and they do not return
<07725> (8804) to the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, nor seek
<01245> (8765) him for all this.
Hos 07:11 Ephraim <0669> also is like a silly <06601> (8802)
dove <03123> without heart <03820>: they call <07121> (8804) to
Egypt <04714>, they go <01980> (8804) to Assyria <0804>.
Hos 07:12 When they shall go <03212> (8799), I will spread
<06566> (8799) my net <07568> upon them; I will bring them down
<03381> (8686) as the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064>; I
will chastise <03256> (8686) them, as their congregation <05712>
hath heard <08088>.
Hos 07:13 Woe <0188> unto them! for they have fled <05074>
(8804) from me: destruction <07701> unto them! because they have
transgressed <06586> (8804) against me: though I have redeemed
<06299> (8799) them, yet they have spoken <01696> (8765) lies
<03577> against me.
Hos 07:14 And they have not cried <02199> (8804) unto me with
their heart <03820>, when they howled <03213> (8686) upon their
beds <04904>: they assemble <01481> (8709) themselves for corn
<01715> and wine <08492>, and they rebel <05493> (8799) against
me.
Hos 07:15 Though I have bound <03256> (8765) and strengthened
<02388> (8765) their arms <02220>, yet do they imagine <02803>
(8762) mischief <07451> against me.
Hos 07:16 They return <07725> (8799), but not to the most High
<05920>: they are like a deceitful <07423> bow <07198>: their
princes <08269> shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>
for the rage <02195> of their tongue <03956>: this <02097> shall
be their derision <03933> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
Hos 08:01 ¶ Set the trumpet <07782> to thy mouth <02441>. He
shall come as an eagle <05404> against the house <01004> of the
LORD <03068>, because they have transgressed <05674> (8804) my
covenant <01285>, and trespassed <06586> (8804) against my law
<08451>.
Hos 08:02 Israel <03478> shall cry <02199> (8799) unto me, My
God <0430>, we know <03045> (8804) thee.
Hos 08:03 Israel <03478> hath cast off <02186> (8804) the thing
that is good <02896>: the enemy <0341> (8802) shall pursue
<07291> (8799) him.
Hos 08:04 They have set up kings <04427> (8689), but not by me:
they have made princes <07786> (8689), and I knew <03045> (8804)
it not: of their silver <03701> and their gold <02091> have they
made <06213> (8804) them idols <06091>, that they may be cut off
<03772> (8735).
Hos 08:05 Thy calf <05695>, O Samaria <08111>, hath cast
<02186> (8804) thee off; mine anger <0639> is kindled <02734>
(8804) against them: how long will it be ere <03808> they attain
<03201> (8799) to innocency <05356>?
Hos 08:06 For from Israel <03478> was it also: the workman
<02796> made <06213> (8804) it; therefore it is not God <0430>:
but the calf <05695> of Samaria <08111> shall be broken in
pieces <07616>.
Hos 08:07 For they have sown <02232> (8799) the wind <07307>,
and they shall reap <07114> (8799) the whirlwind <05492>: it
hath no stalk <07054>: the bud <06780> shall yield <06213>
(8799) no meal <07058>: if <0194> so be it yield <06213> (8799),
the strangers <02114> (8801) shall swallow it up <01104> (8799).
Hos 08:08 ¶ Israel <03478> is swallowed up <01104> (8738): now
shall they be among the Gentiles <01471> as a vessel <03627>
wherein is no pleasure <02656>.
Hos 08:09 For they are gone up <05927> (8804) to Assyria <0804>,
a wild ass <06501> alone <0909> (8802) by himself: Ephraim
<0669> hath hired <08566> (8689) lovers <0158>.
Hos 08:10 Yea, though they have hired <08566> (8799) among the
nations <01471>, now will I gather <06908> (8762) them, and they
shall sorrow <02490> (8686) a little <04592> for the burden
<04853> of the king <04428> of princes <08269>.
Hos 08:11 Because Ephraim <0669> hath made many <07235> (8689)
altars <04196> to sin <02398> (8800), altars <04196> shall be
unto him to sin <02398> (8800).
Hos 08:12 I have written <03789> (8799) to him the great things
<07230> (8675) <07239> of my law <08451>, but they were counted
<02803> (8738) as a strange thing <02114> (8801).
Hos 08:13 They sacrifice <02076> (8799) flesh <01320> for the
sacrifices <02077> of mine offerings <01890>, and eat <0398>
(8799) it; but the LORD <03068> accepteth <07521> (8804) them
not; now will he remember <02142> (8799) their iniquity <05771>,
and visit <06485> (8799) their sins <02403>: they shall return
<07725> (8799) to Egypt <04714>.
Hos 08:14 For Israel <03478> hath forgotten <07911> (8799) his
Maker <06213> (8802), and buildeth <01129> (8799) temples
<01964>; and Judah <03063> hath multiplied <07235> (8689) fenced
<01219> (8803) cities <05892>: but I will send <07971> (8765) a
fire <0784> upon his cities <05892>, and it shall devour <0398>
(8804) the palaces <0759> thereof.
Hos 09:01 ¶ Rejoice <08055> (8799) not, O Israel <03478>, for
joy <01524>, as other people <05971>: for thou hast gone a
whoring <02181> (8804) from thy God <0430>, thou hast loved
<0157> (8804) a reward <0868> upon every cornfloor <01637>
<01715>.
Hos 09:02 The floor <01637> and the winepress <03342> shall not
feed <07462> (8799) them, and the new wine <08492> shall fail
<03584> (8762) in her.
Hos 09:03 They shall not dwell <03427> (8799) in the LORD’S
<03068> land <0776>; but Ephraim <0669> shall return <07725>
(8804) to Egypt <04714>, and they shall eat <0398> (8799)
unclean <02931> things in Assyria <0804>.
Hos 09:04 They shall not offer <05258> (8799) wine <03196>
offerings to the LORD <03068>, neither shall they be pleasing
<06149> (8799) unto him: their sacrifices <02077> shall be unto
them as the bread <03899> of mourners <0205>; all that eat
<0398> (8802) thereof shall be polluted <02930> (8691): for
their bread <03899> for their soul <05315> shall not come <0935>
(8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
Hos 09:05 What will ye do <06213> (8799) in the solemn <04150>
day <03117>, and in the day <03117> of the feast <02282> of the
LORD <03068>?
Hos 09:06 For, lo, they are gone <01980> (8804) because of
destruction <07701>: Egypt <04714> shall gather them up <06908>
(8762), Memphis <04644> shall bury <06912> (8762) them: the
pleasant <04261> places for their silver <03701>, nettles
<07057> shall possess <03423> (8799) them: thorns <02336> shall
be in their tabernacles <0168>.
Hos 09:07 ¶ The days <03117> of visitation <06486> are come
<0935> (8804), the days <03117> of recompence <07966> are come
<0935> (8804); Israel <03478> shall know <03045> (8799) it: the
prophet <05030> is a fool <0191>, the spiritual <07307> man
<0376> is mad <07696> (8794), for the multitude <07230> of thine
iniquity <05771>, and the great <07227> hatred <04895>.
Hos 09:08 The watchman <06822> (8802) of Ephraim <0669> was
with my God <0430>: but the prophet <05030> is a snare <06341>
of a fowler <03352> in all his ways <01870>, and hatred <04895>
in the house <01004> of his God <0430>.
Hos 09:09 They have deeply <06009> (8689) corrupted <07843>
(8765) themselves, as in the days <03117> of Gibeah <01390>:
therefore he will remember <02142> (8799) their iniquity <05771>,
he will visit <06485> (8799) their sins <02403>.
Hos 09:10 I found <04672> (8804) Israel <03478> like grapes
<06025> in the wilderness <04057>; I saw <07200> (8804) your
fathers <01> as the firstripe <01063> in the fig tree <08384> at
her first time <07225>: but they went <0935> (8804) to Baalpeor
<01187>, and separated <05144> (8735) themselves unto that shame
<01322>; and their abominations <08251> were according as they
loved <0157> (8800).
Hos 09:11 ¶ As for Ephraim <0669>, their glory <03519> shall fly
away <05774> (8709) like a bird <05775>, from the birth <03205>
(8800), and from the womb <0990>, and from the conception
<02032>.
Hos 09:12 Though they bring up <01431> (8762) their children
<01121>, yet will I bereave <07921> (8765) them, that there
shall not be a man <0120> left: yea, woe <0188> also to them
when I depart <05493> (8800) from them!
Hos 09:13 Ephraim <0669>, as I saw <07200> (8804) Tyrus <06865>,
is planted <08362> (8803) in a pleasant place <05116>: but
Ephraim <0669> shall bring forth <03318> (8687) his children
<01121> to the murderer <02026> (8802).
Hos 09:14 Give <05414> (8798) them, O LORD <03068>: what wilt
thou give <05414> (8799)? give <05414> (8798) them a miscarrying
<07921> (8688) womb <07358> and dry <06784> (8802) breasts
<07699>.
Hos 09:15 All their wickedness <07451> is in Gilgal <01537>:
for there I hated <08130> (8804) them: for the wickedness
<07455> of their doings <04611> I will drive them out <01644>
(8762) of mine house <01004>, I will love <0160> them no more
<03254> (8686): all their princes <08269> are revolters <05637>
(8802).
Hos 09:16 Ephraim <0669> is smitten <05221> (8717), their root
<08328> is dried up <03001> (8804), they shall bear <06213>
(8799) no fruit <06529>: yea, though they bring forth <03205>
(8799), yet will I slay <04191> (8689) even the beloved <04261>
fruit of their womb <0990>.
Hos 09:17 My God <0430> will cast them away <03988> (8799),
because they did not hearken <08085> (8804) unto him: and they
shall be wanderers <05074> (8802) among the nations <01471>.
Hos 10:01 ¶ Israel <03478> is an empty <01238> (8802) vine
<01612>, he bringeth forth <07737> (8762) fruit <06529> unto
himself: according to the multitude <07230> of his fruit <06529>
he hath increased <07235> (8689) the altars <04196>; according
to the goodness <02896> of his land <0776> they have made goodly
<02895> (8689) images <04676>.
Hos 10:02 Their heart <03820> is divided <02505> (8804); now
shall they be found faulty <0816> (8799): he shall break down
<06202> (8799) their altars <04196>, he shall spoil <07703>
(8779) their images <04676>.
Hos 10:03 For now they shall say <0559> (8799), We have no king
<04428>, because we feared <03372> (8804) not the LORD <03068>;
what then should a king <04428> do <06213> (8799) to us?
Hos 10:04 They have spoken <01696> (8765) words <01697>,
swearing <0422> (8800) falsely <07723> in making <03772> (8800)
a covenant <01285>: thus judgment <04941> springeth up <06524>
(8804) as hemlock <07219> in the furrows <08525> of the field
<07704>.
Hos 10:05 The inhabitants <07934> of Samaria <08111> shall fear
<01481> (8799) because of the calves <05697> of Bethaven <01007>:
for the people <05971> thereof shall mourn <056> (8804) over it,
and the priests <03649> thereof that rejoiced <01523> (8799) on
it, for the glory <03519> thereof, because it is departed
<01540> (8804) from it.
Hos 10:06 It shall be also carried <02986> (8714) unto Assyria
<0804> for a present <04503> to king <04428> Jareb <03377>:
Ephraim <0669> shall receive <03947> (8799) shame <01317>, and
Israel <03478> shall be ashamed <0954> (8799) of his own counsel
<06098>.
Hos 10:07 As for Samaria <08111>, her king <04428> is cut off
<01820> (8738) as the foam <07110> upon <06440> the water
<04325>.
Hos 10:08 The high places <01116> also of Aven <0206>, the sin
<02403> of Israel <03478>, shall be destroyed <08045> (8738):
the thorn <06975> and the thistle <01863> shall come up <05927>
(8799) on their altars <04196>; and they shall say <0559> (8804)
to the mountains <02022>, Cover <03680> (8761) us; and to the
hills <01389>, Fall <05307> (8798) on us.
Hos 10:09 ¶ O Israel <03478>, thou hast sinned <02398> (8804)
from the days <03117> of Gibeah <01390>: there they stood
<05975> (8804): the battle <04421> in Gibeah <01390> against the
children <01121> of iniquity <05932> did not overtake <05381>
(8686) them.
Hos 10:10 It is in my desire <0185> that I should chastise
<03256> (8799) them; and the people <05971> shall be gathered
<0622> (8795) against them, when they shall bind <0631> (8800)
themselves in their two <08147> furrows <05869>.
Hos 10:11 And Ephraim <0669> is as an heifer <05697> that is
taught <03925> (8794), and loveth <0157> (8802) to tread out
<01758> (8800) the corn; but I passed over <05674> (8804) upon
her fair <02898> neck <06677>: I will make Ephraim <0669> to
ride <07392> (8686); Judah <03063> shall plow <02790> (8799),
and Jacob <03290> shall break his clods <07702> (8762).
Hos 10:12 Sow <02232> (8798) to yourselves in righteousness
<06666>, reap <07114> (8798) in <06310> mercy <02617>; break up
<05214> (8798) your fallow ground <05215>: for it is time
<06256> to seek <01875> (8800) the LORD <03068>, till he come
<0935> (8799) and rain <03384> (8686) righteousness <06664> upon
you.
Hos 10:13 Ye have plowed <02790> (8804) wickedness <07562>, ye
have reaped <07114> (8804) iniquity <05766>; ye have eaten
<0398> (8804) the fruit <06529> of lies <03585>: because thou
didst trust <0982> (8804) in thy way <01870>, in the multitude
<07230> of thy mighty men <01368>.
Hos 10:14 Therefore shall a tumult <07588> arise <06965> (8804)
among thy people <05971>, and all thy fortresses <04013> shall
be spoiled <07703> (8714), as Shalman <08020> spoiled <07701>
Betharbel <01009> in the day <03117> of battle <04421>: the
mother <0517> was dashed in pieces <07376> (8795) upon her
children <01121>.
Hos 10:15 So <03602> shall Bethel <01008> do <06213> (8804)
unto you because <06440> of your great <07451> wickedness
<07451>: in a morning <07837> shall the king <04428> of Israel
<03478> utterly <01820> (8736) be cut off <01820> (8738).
Hos 11:01 ¶ When Israel <03478> was a child <05288>, then I
loved <0157> (8799) him, and called <07121> (8804) my son
<01121> out of Egypt <04714>.
Hos 11:02 As they called <07121> (8804) them, so they went
<01980> (8804) from them <06440>: they sacrificed <02076> (8762)
unto Baalim <01168>, and burned incense <06999> (8762) to graven
images <06456>.
Hos 11:03 I taught <08637> <00> Ephraim <0669> also to go
<08637> (8809), taking <03947> (8800) them by their arms <02220>;
but they knew <03045> (8804) not that I healed <07495> (8804)
them.
Hos 11:04 I drew <04900> (8799) them with cords <02256> of a
man <0120>, with bands <05688> of love <0160>: and I was to them
as they that take off <07311> (8688) the yoke <05923> on their
jaws <03895>, and I laid <05186> (8686) meat <0398> (8686) unto
them.
Hos 11:05 He shall not return <07725> (8799) into the land
<0776> of Egypt <04714>, but the Assyrian <0804> shall be his
king <04428>, because they refused <03985> (8765) to return
<07725> (8800).
Hos 11:06 And the sword <02719> shall abide <02342> (8804) on
his cities <05892>, and shall consume <03615> (8765) his
branches <0905>, and devour <0398> (8804) them, because of their
own counsels <04156>.
Hos 11:07 And my people <05971> are bent <08511> (8803) to
backsliding <04878> from me: though they called <07121> (8799)
them to the most High <05920>, none at all <03162> would exalt
<07311> (8787) him.
Hos 11:08 ¶ How shall I give thee up <05414> (8799), Ephraim
<0669>? how shall I deliver <04042> (8762) thee, Israel <03478>?
how shall I make <05414> (8799) thee as Admah <0126>? how shall
I set <07760> (8799) thee as Zeboim <06636>? mine heart <03820>
is turned <02015> (8738) within me, my repentings <05150> are
kindled <03648> (8738) together <03162>.
Hos 11:09 I will not execute <06213> (8799) the fierceness
<02740> of mine anger <0639>, I will not return <07725> (8799)
to destroy <07843> (8763) Ephraim <0669>: for I am God <0410>,
and not man <0376>; the Holy One <06918> in the midst <07130> of
thee: and I will not enter <0935> (8799) into the city <05892>.
Hos 11:10 They shall walk <03212> (8799) after <0310> the LORD
<03068>: he shall roar <07580> (8799) like a lion <0738>: when
he shall roar <07580> (8799), then the children <01121> shall
tremble <02729> (8799) from the west <03220>.
Hos 11:11 They shall tremble <02729> (8799) as a bird <06833>
out of Egypt <04714>, and as a dove <03123> out of the land
<0776> of Assyria <0804>: and I will place <03427> (8689) them
in their houses <01004>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
Hos 11:12 Ephraim <0669> compasseth <05437> (8804) me about
with lies <03585>, and the house <01004> of Israel <03478> with
deceit <04820>: but Judah <03063> yet ruleth <07300> (8804) with
God <0410>, and is faithful <0539> (8737) with the saints
<06918>.
Hos 12:01 ¶ Ephraim <0669> feedeth <07462> (8802) on wind
<07307>, and followeth <07291> (8802) after the east wind
<06921>: he daily <03117> increaseth <07235> (8686) lies <03577>
and desolation <07701>; and they do make <03772> (8799) a
covenant <01285> with the Assyrians <0804>, and oil <08081> is
carried <02986> (8714) into Egypt <04714>.
Hos 12:02 The LORD <03068> hath also a controversy <07379> with
Judah <03063>, and will punish <06485> (8800) Jacob <03290>
according to his ways <01870>; according to his doings <04611>
will he recompense <07725> (8686) him.
Hos 12:03 He took his brother <0251> by the heel <06117> (8804)
in the womb <0990>, and by his strength <0202> he had power
<08280> (8804) with God <0430>:
Hos 12:04 Yea, he had power <07786> (8799) over the angel
<04397>, and prevailed <03201> (8799): he wept <01058> (8804),
and made supplication <02603> (8691) unto him: he found <04672>
(8799) him in Bethel <01008>, and there he spake <01696> (8762)
with us;
Hos 12:05 Even the LORD <03068> God <0430> of hosts <06635>;
the LORD <03068> is his memorial <02143>.
Hos 12:06 Therefore turn <07725> (8799) thou to thy God <0430>:
keep <08104> (8798) mercy <02617> and judgment <04941>, and wait
<06960> (8761) on thy God <0430> continually <08548>.
Hos 12:07 ¶ He is a merchant <03667>, the balances <03976> of
deceit <04820> are in his hand <03027>: he loveth <0157> (8804)
to oppress <06231> (8800).
Hos 12:08 And Ephraim <0669> said <0559> (8799), Yet I am
become rich <06238> (8804), I have found me out <04672> (8804)
substance <0202>: in all my labours <03018> they shall find
<04672> (8799) none iniquity <05771> in me that were sin <02399>.
Hos 12:09 And I that am the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> from
the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> will yet make thee to dwell
<03427> (8686) in tabernacles <0168>, as in the days <03117> of
the solemn feast <04150>.
Hos 12:10 I have also spoken <01696> (8765) by the prophets
<05030>, and I have multiplied <07235> (8689) visions <02377>,
and used similitudes <01819> (8762), by the ministry <03027> of
the prophets <05030>.
Hos 12:11 Is there iniquity <0205> in Gilead <01568>? surely
they are vanity <07723>: they sacrifice <02076> (8765) bullocks
<07794> in Gilgal <01537>; yea, their altars <04196> are as
heaps <01530> in the furrows <08525> of the fields <07704>.
Hos 12:12 And Jacob <03290> fled <01272> (8799) into the
country <07704> of Syria <0758>, and Israel <03478> served
<05647> (8799) for a wife <0802>, and for a wife <0802> he kept
<08104> (8804) sheep.
Hos 12:13 And by a prophet <05030> the LORD <03068> brought
<05927> (8689) Israel <03478> out of Egypt <04714>, and by a
prophet <05030> was he preserved <08104> (8738).
Hos 12:14 Ephraim <0669> provoked him to anger <03707> (8689)
most bitterly <08563>: therefore shall he leave <05203> (8799)
his blood <01818> upon him, and his reproach <02781> shall his
Lord <0113> return <07725> (8686) unto him.
Hos 13:01 ¶ When Ephraim <0669> spake <01696> (8763) trembling
<07578>, he exalted <05375> (8804) himself in Israel <03478>;
but when he offended <0816> (8799) in Baal <01168>, he died
<04191> (8799).
Hos 13:02 And now they sin <02398> (8800) more and more <03254>
(8686), and have made <06213> (8799) them molten images <04541>
of their silver <03701>, and idols <06091> according to their
own understanding <08394>, all of it the work <04639> of the
craftsmen <02796>: they say <0559> (8802) of them, Let the men
<0120> that sacrifice <02076> (8802) kiss <05401> (8799) the
calves <05695>.
Hos 13:03 Therefore they shall be as the morning <01242> cloud
<06051>, and as the early <07925> (8688) dew <02919> that
passeth away <01980> (8802), as the chaff <04671> that is driven
with the whirlwind <05590> (8792) out of the floor <01637>, and
as the smoke <06227> out of the chimney <0699>.
Hos 13:04 Yet I am the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> from the
land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and thou shalt know <03045> (8799)
no god <0430> but me <02108>: for there is no saviour <03467>
(8688) beside me <01115>.
Hos 13:05 ¶ I did know <03045> (8804) thee in the wilderness
<04057>, in the land <0776> of great drought <08514>.
Hos 13:06 According to their pasture <04830>, so were they
filled <07646> (8799); they were filled <07646> (8804), and
their heart <03820> was exalted <07311> (8799); therefore have
they forgotten <07911> (8804) me.
Hos 13:07 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion <07826>: as a
leopard <05246> by the way <01870> will I observe <07789> (8799)
them:
Hos 13:08 I will meet <06298> (8799) them as a bear <01677>
that is bereaved <07909> of her whelps, and will rend <07167>
(8799) the caul <05458> of their heart <03820>, and there will I
devour <0398> (8799) them like a lion <03833>: the wild <07704>
beast <02416> shall tear <01234> (8762) them.
Hos 13:09 ¶ O Israel <03478>, thou hast destroyed <07843> (8765)
thyself; but in me is thine help <05828>.
Hos 13:10 I will <0165> be thy king <04428>: where <0645> is
any other that may save <03467> (8686) thee in all thy cities
<05892>? and thy judges <08199> (8802) of whom thou saidst
<0559> (8804), Give <05414> (8798) me a king <04428> and princes
<08269>?
Hos 13:11 I gave <05414> (8799) thee a king <04428> in mine
anger <0639>, and took <03947> (8799) him away in my wrath
<05678>.
Hos 13:12 The iniquity <05771> of Ephraim <0669> is bound up
<06887> (8803); his sin <02403> is hid <06845> (8803).
Hos 13:13 The sorrows <02256> of a travailing woman <03205>
(8802) shall come <0935> (8799) upon him: he is an unwise
<02450> son <01121>; for he should not stay <05975> (8799) long
<06256> in the place of the breaking forth <04866> of children
<01121>.
Hos 13:14 I will ransom <06299> (8799) them from the power
<03027> of the grave <07585>; I will redeem <01350> (8799) them
from death <04194>: O death <04194>, I will <0165> be thy
plagues <01698>; O grave <07585>, I will <0165> be thy
destruction <06987>: repentance <05164> shall be hid <05641>
(8735) from mine eyes <05869>.
Hos 13:15 Though he be fruitful <06500> (8686) among his
brethren <0251>, an east wind <06921> shall come <0935> (8799),
the wind <07307> of the LORD <03068> shall come up <05927>
(8802) from the wilderness <04057>, and his spring <04726> shall
become dry <0954> (8799), and his fountain <04599> shall be
dried up <02717> (8799): he shall spoil <08154> (8799) the
treasure <0214> of all pleasant <02532> vessels <03627>.
Hos 13:16 Samaria <08111> shall become desolate <0816> (8799);
for she hath rebelled <04784> (8804) against her God <0430>:
they shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>: their
infants <05768> shall be dashed in pieces <07376> (8792), and
their women with child <02030> shall be ripped up <01234> (8792).
Hos 14:01 ¶ O Israel <03478>, return <07725> (8798) unto the
LORD <03068> thy God <0430>; for thou hast fallen <03782> (8804)
by thine iniquity <05771>.
Hos 14:02 Take <03947> (8798) with you words <01697>, and turn
<07725> (8798) to the LORD <03068>: say <0559> (8798) unto him,
Take away <05375> (8799) all iniquity <05771>, and receive
<03947> (8798) us graciously <02896>: so will we render <07999>
(8762) the calves <06499> of our lips <08193>.
Hos 14:03 Asshur <0804> shall not save <03467> (8686) us; we
will not ride <07392> (8799) upon horses <05483>: neither will
we say <0559> (8799) any more to the work <04639> of our hands
<03027>, Ye are our gods <0430>: for in thee the fatherless
<03490> findeth mercy <07355> (8792).
Hos 14:04 ¶ I will heal <07495> (8799) their backsliding <04878>,
I will love <0157> (8799) them freely <05071>: for mine anger
<0639> is turned away <07725> (8804) from him.
Hos 14:05 I will be as the dew <02919> unto Israel <03478>: he
shall grow <06524> (8799) as the lily <07799>, and cast forth
<05221> (8686) his roots <08328> as Lebanon <03844>.
Hos 14:06 His branches <03127> shall spread <03212> (8799), and
his beauty <01935> shall be as the olive tree <02132>, and his
smell <07381> as Lebanon <03844>.
Hos 14:07 They that dwell <03427> (8802) under his shadow
<06738> shall return <07725> (8799); they shall revive <02421>
(8762) as the corn <01715>, and grow <06524> (8799) as the vine
<01612>: the scent <02143> thereof shall be as the wine <03196>
of Lebanon <03844>.
Hos 14:08 ¶ Ephraim <0669> shall say, What have I to do any more
with idols <06091>? I have heard <06030> (8804) him, and
observed <07789> (8799) him: I am like a green <07488> fir tree
<01265>. From me is thy fruit <06529> found <04672> (8738).
Hos 14:09 Who is wise <02450>, and he shall understand <0995>
(8799) these things? prudent <0995> (8737), and he shall know
<03045> (8799) them? for the ways <01870> of the LORD <03068>
are right <03477>, and the just <06662> shall walk <03212>
(8799) in them: but the transgressors <06586> (8802) shall fall
<03782> (8735) therein.
