: Hosea 1
: 01 . The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that came <1961 hayah > unto Hosea <1954 Howshea< > , the son <1121 ben > of Beeri <0882 B@>eriy > , in the days <3117 yowm > of Uzziah <5818 <Uzziyah > , Jotham <3147 Yowtham > , Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > , [ and ] Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > , kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and in the days <3117 yowm > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101 Yow>ash > , king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .
: 02 . The beginning <8462 t@chillah > of the word <1699 dober > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by Hosea <1954 Howshea< > . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > to Hosea <1954 Howshea< > , Go <3212 yalak > , take <3947 laqach > unto thee a wife <0802 >ishshah > of whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > and children <3206 yeled > of whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > : for the land <0776 >erets > hath committed <2181 zanah > great whoredom <2181 zanah > , [ departing ] from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 03 So he went <3212 yalak > and took <3947 laqach > Gomer <1586 Gomer > the daughter <1323 bath > of Diblaim <1691 Diblayim > ; which conceived <2030 hareh > , and bare <3205 yalad > him a son <1121 ben > .
: 04 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him , Call <7121 qara> > his name <8034 shem > Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > ; for yet <5750 <owd > a little <4592 m@<at > [ while ] , and I will avenge <6485 paqad > the blood <1818 dam > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > upon the house <1004 bayith > of Jehu <3058 Yehuw> > , and will cause to cease <7673 shabath > the kingdom <4468 mamlakuwth > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .
: 05 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass at that day <3117 yowm > , that I will break <7665 shabar > the bow <7198 qesheth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the valley <6010 <emeq > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > .
: 06 And she conceived <2030 hareh > again <5750 <owd > , and bare <3205 yalad > a daughter <1323 bath > . And [ God ] said <0559 >amar > unto him , Call <7121 qara> > her name <8034 shem > Loruhamah <3819 Lo> Ruchamah > : for I will no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > have mercy <7355 racham > upon the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ; but I will utterly take <5375 nasa> > them away .
: 07 But I will have mercy <7355 racham > upon the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and will save <3467 yasha< > them by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > , and will not save <3467 yasha< > them by bow <7198 qesheth > , nor by sword <2719 chereb > , nor by battle <4421 milchamah > , by horses <5483 cuwc > , nor by horsemen <6571 parash > .
: 08 . Now when she had weaned <1580 gamal > Loruhamah <3819 Lo> Ruchamah > , she conceived <2030 hareh > , and bare <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben > .
: 09 Then said <0559 >amar > [ God ] , Call <7121 qara> > his name <8034 shem > Loammi <3818 Lo> <Ammiy > : for ye [ are ] not my people <5971 <am > , and I will not be your [ God ] .
: 10 Yet the number <4557 micpar > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall be as the sand <2344 chowl > of the sea <3220 yam > , which <0834 >aher > cannot <3808 lo> > be measured <4058 madad > nor <3808 lo> > numbered <5608 caphar > ; and it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass , [ that ] in the place <4725 maqowm > where <0834 >aher > it was said <0559 >amar > unto them , Ye [ are ] not my people <5971 <am > , [ there ] it shall be said <0559 >amar > unto them , [ Ye are ] the sons <1121 ben > of the living <2416 chay > God <0410 >el > .
: 11 Then shall the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be gathered <6908 qabats > together <3162 yachad > , and appoint <7760 suwm > themselves <1992 hem > one <0259 >echad > head <7218 ro>sh > , and they shall come <5927 <alah > up out of the land <0776 >erets > : for great <1419 gadowl > [ shall be ] the day <3117 yowm > of Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > .
: Hosea 2
: 01 . Say <0559 >amar > ye unto your brethren <0251 >ach > , Ammi <5971 <am > ; and to your sisters <0269 >achowth > , Ruhamah <7355 racham > .
: 02 Plead <7378 riyb > with your mother <0517 >em > , plead <7378 riyb > : for she [ is ] not my wife <0802 >ishshah > , neither <3808 lo> > [ am ] I her husband <0376 >iysh > : let her therefore put <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > her whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > out of her sight <6440 paniym > , and her adulteries <5005 na>aphuwph > from between <0996 beyn > her breasts <7699 shad > ;
: 03 Lest <6435 pen > I strip <6584 pashat > her naked <6174 <arowm > , and set <3322 yatsag > her as in the day <3117 yowm > that she was born <3205 yalad > , and make <7760 suwm > her as a wilderness <4057 midbar > , and set <7896 shiyth > her like a dry <6723 tsiyah > land <0776 >erets > , and slay <4191 muwth > her with thirst <6772 tsama> > .
: 04 And I will not have mercy <7355 racham > upon her children <1121 ben > ; for they [ be ] the children <1121 ben > of whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > .
: 05 For their mother <0517 >em > hath played the harlot <2181 zanah > : she that conceived <2030 hareh > them hath done shamefully <3001 yabesh > : for she said <0559 >amar > , I will go <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > my lovers <0157 >ahab > , that give <5414 nathan > [ me ] my bread <3899 lechem > and my water <4325 mayim > , my wool <6785 tsemer > and my flax <6593 pishteh > , mine oil <8081 shemen > and my drink <8250 shiqquwy > .
: 06 . Therefore <3651 ken > , behold <2005 hen > , I will hedge <7753 suwk > up thy way <1870 derek > with thorns <5518 ciyr > , and make <1443 gadar > a wall <1447 gader > , that she shall not find <4672 matsa> > her paths <5410 nathiyb > .
: 07 And she shall follow <7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > her lovers <0157 >ahab > , but she shall not overtake <5381 nasag > them ; and she shall seek <1245 baqash > them , but shall not find <4672 matsa> > [ them ] : then shall she say <0559 >amar > , I will go <3212 yalak > and return <7725 shuwb > to my first <7223 ri>shown > husband <0376 >iysh > ; for then <0227 >az > [ was it ] better <2896 towb > with me than now <6258 <attah > .
: 08 For she did not know <3045 yada< > that I gave <5414 nathan > her corn <1715 dagan > , and wine <8492 tiyrowsh > , and oil <3323 yitshar > , and multiplied <7235 rabah > her silver <3701 keceph > and gold <2091 zahab > , [ which ] they prepared <6213 <asah > for Baal <1168 Ba<al > .
: 09 Therefore <3651 ken > will I return <7725 shuwb > , and take <3947 laqach > away my corn <1715 dagan > in the time <6256 <eth > thereof , and my wine <8492 tiyrowsh > in the season <4150 mow<ed > thereof , and will recover <5337 natsal > my wool <6785 tsemer > and my flax <6593 pishteh > [ given ] to cover <3680 kacah > her nakedness <6172 <ervah > .
: 10 And now <6258 <attah > will I discover <1540 galah > her lewdness <5040 nabluwth > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of her lovers <0157 >ahab > , and none <3808 lo> > shall deliver <5337 natsal > her out of mine hand <3027 yad > .
: 11 I will also cause all <3605 kol > her mirth <4885 masows > to cease <7673 shabath > , her feast <2282 chag > days , her new <2320 chodesh > moons <2320 chodesh > , and her sabbaths <7676 shabbath > , and all <3605 kol > her solemn <4150 mow<ed > feasts <4150 mow<ed > .
: 12 And I will destroy <8074 shamem > her vines <1612 gephen > and her fig <8384 t@>en > trees , whereof <0834 >aher > she hath said <0559 >amar > , These <1992 hem > [ are ] my rewards <0866 >ethnah > that my lovers <0157 >ahab > have given <5414 nathan > me : and I will make <7760 suwm > them a forest <3293 ya<ar > , and the beasts <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall eat <0398 >akal > them .
: 13 And I will visit <6485 paqad > upon her the days <3117 yowm > of Baalim <1168 Ba<al > , wherein <0834 >aher > she burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to them , and she decked <5710 <adah > herself with her earrings <5141 nexem > and her jewels <2484 chelyah > , and she went <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > her lovers <0157 >ahab > , and forgat <7911 shakach > me , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 14 . Therefore <3651 ken > , behold <2009 hinneh > , I will allure <6601 pathah > her , and bring <1980 halak > her into the wilderness <4057 midbar > , and speak <1696 dabar > comfortably unto her .
: 15 And I will give <5414 nathan > her her vineyards <3754 kerem > from thence <8033 sham > , and the valley <6010 <emeq > of Achor <5911 <Alowr > for a door <6607 pethach > of hope <8615 tiqvah > : and she shall sing <6030 <anah > there <8033 sham > , as in the days <3117 yowm > of her youth <5271 na<uwr > , and as in the day <3117 yowm > when she came <5927 <alah > up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .
: 16 And it shall be at that day <3117 yowm > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ that ] thou shalt call <7121 qara> > me Ishi <0376 >iysh > ; and shalt call <7121 qara> > me no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > Baali <1180 Ba<aliy > .
: 17 For I will take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the names <8034 shem > of Baalim <1168 Ba<al > out of her mouth <6310 peh > , and they shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > be remembered <2142 zakar > by their name <8034 shem > .
: 18 And in that day <3117 yowm > will I make <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > for them with the beasts <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > , and with the fowls <5775 <owph > of heaven <8064 shamayim > , and [ with ] the creeping <7431 remes > things of the ground <0127 >adamah > : and I will break <7665 shabar > the bow <7198 qesheth > and the sword <2719 chereb > and the battle <4421 milchamah > out of the earth <0776 >erets > , and will make them to lie <7901 shakab > down <7901 shakab > safely <0983 betach > .
: 19 And I will betroth <0781 >aras > thee unto me for ever <5769 <owlam > ; yea , I will betroth <0781 >aras > thee unto me in righteousness <6664 tsedeq > , and in judgment <4941 mishpat > , and in lovingkindness <2617 checed > , and in mercies <7356 racham > .
: 20 I will even betroth <0781 >aras > thee unto me in faithfulness <0530 >emuwnah > : and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 21 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117 yowm > , I will hear <6030 <anah > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , I will hear <6030 <anah > the heavens <8064 shamayim > , and they shall hear <6030 <anah > the earth <0776 >erets > ;
: 22 And the earth <0776 >erets > shall hear <6030 <anah > the corn <1715 dagan > , and the wine <8492 tiyrowsh > , and the oil <3323 yitshar > ; and they shall hear <6030 <anah > Jezreel <3157 Yizr@<e>l > .
: 23 And I will sow <2232 zara< > her unto me in the earth <0776 >erets > ; and I will have mercy <7355 racham > upon her that had not obtained <5375 nasa> > mercy <7355 racham > ; and I will say <0559 >amar > to [ them which were ] not my people <5971 <am > , Thou [ art ] my people <5971 <am > ; and they shall say <0559 >amar > , [ Thou art ] my God <0430 >elohiym > .
: Hosea 3
: 01 . Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me , Go <3212 yalak > yet <5750 <owd > , love <0157 >ahab > a woman <0802 >ishshah > beloved <0157 >ahab > of [ her ] friend <7453 rea< > , yet an adulteress <5003 na>aph > , according to the love <0160 >ahabah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > toward <0854 >eth > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , who <1992 hem > look <6437 panah > to other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > , and love <0157 >ahab > flagons <0809 >ashiyshah > of wine <6025 <enab > .
: 02 So I bought <3739 karah > her to me for fifteen <6240 <asar > [ pieces ] of silver <3701 keceph > , and [ for ] an homer <2563 chomer > of barley <8184 s@<orah > , and an half homer <2563 chomer > of barley <8184 s@<orah > :
: 03 And I said <0559 >amar > unto her , Thou shalt abide <3427 yashab > for me many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > ; thou shalt not play the harlot <2181 zanah > , and thou shalt not be for [ another ] man <0376 >iysh > : so <1571 gam > [ will ] I also <1571 gam > [ be ] for thee .
: 04 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall abide <3427 yashab > many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > without <0369 >ayin > a king <4428 melek > , and without <0369 >ayin > a prince <8269 sar > , and without <0369 >ayin > a sacrifice <2077 zebach > , and without <0369 >ayin > an image <6755 tselem > , and without <0369 >ayin > an ephod <0646 >ephowd > , and [ without ] teraphim <8655 t@raphiym > :
: 05 Afterward <0310 >achar > shall the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > return <7725 shuwb > , and seek <1245 baqash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > , and David <1732 David > their king <4428 melek > ; and shall fear <6342 pachad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > and his goodness <2898 tuwb > in the latter <0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm > .
: Hosea 4
: 01 . Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , ye children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath a controversy <7379 riyb > with the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > , because <3588 kiy > [ there is ] no <0369 >ayin > truth <0571 >emeth > , nor <0369 >ayin > mercy <2617 checed > , nor <0369 >ayin > knowledge <1847 da<ath > of God <0430 >elohiym > in the land <0776 >erets > .
: 02 By swearing <0422 >alah > , and lying <3584 kachash > , and killing <7523 ratsach > , and stealing <1589 ganab > , and committing <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > , they break <6555 parats > out , and blood <1818 dam > toucheth <5060 naga< > blood <1818 dam > .
: 03 Therefore shall the land <0776 >erets > mourn <56> , and every <3605 kol > one that dwelleth <3427 yashab > therein shall languish <0535 >amal > , with the beasts <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > , and with the fowls <5775 <owph > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ; yea <1571 gam > , the fishes <1709 dag > of the sea <3220 yam > also <1571 gam > shall be taken <0622 >acaph > away .
: 04 Yet <0389 >ak > let no <0408 >al > man <0376 >iysh > strive <7378 riyb > , nor <0408 >al > reprove <3198 yakach > another <0376 >iysh > : for thy people <5971 <am > [ are ] as they that strive <7378 riyb > with the priest <3548 kohen > .
: 05 Therefore shalt thou fall <3782 kashal > in the day <3117 yowm > , and the prophet <5030 nabiy> > also <1571 gam > shall fall <3782 kashal > with thee in the night <3915 layil > , and I will destroy <1820 damah > thy mother <0517 >em > .
: 06 . My people <5971 <am > are destroyed <1820 damah > for lack <1097 b@liy > of knowledge <1847 da<ath > : because <3588 kiy > thou hast rejected <3988 ma>ac > knowledge <1847 da<ath > , I will also reject <3988 ma>ac > thee , that thou shalt be no priest <3547 kahan > to me : seeing thou hast forgotten <7911 shakach > the law <8451 towrah > of thy God <0430 >elohiym > , I will also <1571 gam > forget <7911 shakach > thy children <1121 ben > .
: 07 As they were increased <7230 rob > , so <3651 ken > they sinned <2398 chata> > against me : [ therefore ] will I change <4171 muwr > their glory <3519 kabowd > into shame <7036 qalown > .
: 08 They eat <0398 >akal > up the sin <2403 chatta>ah > of my people <5971 <am > , and they set <5375 nasa> > their heart <5315 nephesh > on <0413 >el > their iniquity <5771 <avon > .
: 09 And there shall be , like people <5971 <am > , like priest <3548 kohen > : and I will punish <6485 paqad > them for their ways <1870 derek > , and reward <7725 shuwb > them their doings <4611 ma<alal > .
: 10 For they shall eat <0398 >akal > , and not have enough <7644 Shebna> > : they shall commit <2181 zanah > whoredom <2181 zanah > , and shall not increase <6555 parats > : because <3588 kiy > they have left <5800 <azab > off to take heed <8104 shamar > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 11 Whoredom <2184 z@nuwth > and wine <3196 yayin > and new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492 tiyrowsh > take <3947 laqach > away the heart <3820 leb > .
: 12 . My people <5971 <am > ask <7592 sha>al > counsel at their stocks <6086 <ets > , and their staff <4731 maqqel > declareth <5046 nagad > unto them : for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > hath caused [ them ] to err <8582 ta<ah > , and they have gone a whoring <2181 zanah > from under <8478 tachath > their God <0430 >elohiym > .
: 13 They sacrifice <2076 zabach > upon the tops <7218 ro>sh > of the mountains <2022 har > , and burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > upon the hills <1389 gib<ah > , under <8478 tachath > oaks <0437 >allown > and poplars <3839 libneh > and elms <0424 >elah > , because <3588 kiy > the shadow <6738 tsel > thereof [ is ] good <2896 towb > : therefore your daughters <1121 ben > shall commit <2181 zanah > whoredom <2181 zanah > , and your spouses <3618 kallah > shall commit <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > .
: 14 I will not punish <6485 paqad > your daughters <1121 ben > when <3588 kiy > they commit <2181 zanah > whoredom <2181 zanah > , nor your spouses <3618 kallah > when <3588 kiy > they commit <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > : for themselves <1992 hem > are separated <6504 parad > with whores <2181 zanah > , and they sacrifice <2076 zabach > with harlots <6948 q@deshah > : therefore the people <5971 <am > [ that ] doth not understand <0995 biyn > shall fall <3832 labat > .
: 15 Though <0518 >im > thou , Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , play the harlot <2181 zanah > , [ yet ] let not Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > offend <0816 >asham > ; and come <0935 bow> > not ye unto Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > , neither <0408 >al > go <5927 <alah > ye up to Bethaven <1007 Beyth >Aven > , nor <0408 >al > swear <7650 shaba< > , The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > .
: 16 For Israel <3478 Yisra>el > slideth <5637 carar > back <5637 carar > as a backsliding <5637 carar > heifer <6510 parah > : now <6258 <attah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will feed <7462 ra<ah > them as a lamb <3532 kebes > in a large <4800 merchab > place .
: 17 Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > [ is ] joined <2266 chabar > to idols <6091 <atsab > : let him alone .
: 18 Their drink <5435 cobe> > is sour <5493 cuwr > : they have committed <2181 zanah > whoredom <2181 zanah > continually : her rulers <4043 magen > [ with ] shame <7036 qalown > do love <0157 >ahab > , Give <3051 yahab > ye .
: 19 The wind <7307 ruwach > hath bound <6887 tsarar > her up in her wings <3671 kanaph > , and they shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > because of their sacrifices <2077 zebach > .
: Hosea 5
: 01 . Hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2063 zo>th > , O priests <3548 kohen > ; and hearken <7181 qashab > , ye house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ; and give ye ear <0238 >azan > , O house <1004 bayith > of the king <4428 melek > ; for judgment <4941 mishpat > [ is ] toward you , because <3588 kiy > ye have been <1961 hayah > a snare <6341 pach > on Mizpah <4709 Mitspah > , and a net <7568 resheth > spread <6566 paras > upon Tabor <8396 Tabowr > .
: 02 And the revolters <7846 set > are profound <6009 <amaq > to make slaughter <7819 shachat > , though I [ have been ] a rebuker <4148 muwcar > of them all <3605 kol > .
: 03 I know <3045 yada< > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > , and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is not hid <3582 kachad > from me : for now , O Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > , thou committest <2181 zanah > whoredom <2181 zanah > , [ and ] Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is defiled <2930 tame> > .
: 04 They will not frame <5414 nathan > their doings <4611 ma<alal > to turn <7725 shuwb > unto their God <0430 >elohiym > : for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > [ is ] in the midst <7130 qereb > of them , and they have not known <3045 yada< > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 05 And the pride <1347 ga>own > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > doth testify <6030 <anah > to his face <6440 paniym > : therefore shall Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > fall <3782 kashal > in their iniquity <5771 <avon > ; Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > also <1571 gam > shall fall <3782 kashal > with them .
: 06 They shall go <3212 yalak > with their flocks <6629 tso>n > and with their herds <1241 baqar > to seek <1245 baqash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; but they shall not find <4672 matsa> > [ him ] ; he hath withdrawn <2502 chalats > himself from them .
: 07 They have dealt treacherously <0898 bagad > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for they have begotten <3205 yalad > strange <2114 zuwr > children <1121 ben > : now <6258 <attah > shall a month <2320 chodesh > devour <0398 >akal > them with their portions <2506 cheleq > .
: 08 . Blow <8628 taqa< > ye the cornet <7782 showphar > in Gibeah <1390 Gib<ah > , [ and ] the trumpet <2689 chatsots@rah > in Ramah <7414 Ramah > : cry <7321 ruwa< > aloud <7321 ruwa< > [ at ] Bethaven <1007 Beyth >Aven > , after <0310 >achar > thee , O Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > .
: 09 Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > shall be desolate <8047 shammah > in the day <3117 yowm > of rebuke <8433 towkechah > : among the tribes <7626 shebet > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have I made known <3045 yada< > that which shall surely <0539 >aman > be .
: 10 The princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > were like them that remove <5253 nacag > the bound <1366 g@buwl > : [ therefore ] I will pour <8210 shaphak > out my wrath <5678 <ebrah > upon them like water <4325 mayim > .
: 11 Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > [ is ] oppressed <6231 <ashaq > [ and ] broken <7533 ratsats > in judgment <4941 mishpat > , because <3588 kiy > he willingly <2974 ya>al > walked <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > the commandment <6673 tsav > .
: 12 Therefore [ will ] I [ be ] unto Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > as a moth <6211 <ash > , and to the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > as rottenness <7538 raqab > .
: 13 When Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > saw <7200 ra>ah > his sickness <2483 choliy > , and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > [ saw ] his wound <4205 mazowr > , then went <3212 yalak > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > to the Assyrian <0804 >Ashshuwr > , and sent <7971 shalach > to king <4428 melek > Jareb <3377 Yareb > : yet could <3201 yakol > he not heal <7495 rapha> > you , nor <3808 lo> > cure <1455 gahah > you of your wound <4205 mazowr > .
: 14 For I [ will be ] unto Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > as a lion <7826 shachal > , and as a young <3715 k@phiyr > lion <3715 k@phiyr > to the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > : I , [ even ] I , will tear <2963 taraph > and go <3212 yalak > away ; I will take <5375 nasa> > away , and none <0369 >ayin > shall rescue <5337 natsal > [ him ] .
: 15 I will go <3212 yalak > [ and ] return <7725 shuwb > to my place <4725 maqowm > , till <5704 <ad > they acknowledge their offence <0816 >asham > , and seek <1245 baqash > my face <6440 paniym > : in their affliction <6862 tsar > they will seek <7836 shachar > me early <7836 shachar > .
: Hosea 6
: 01 . Come <3212 yalak > , and let us return <7725 shuwb > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for he hath torn <2963 taraph > , and he will heal <7495 rapha> > us ; he hath smitten <5221 nakah > , and he will bind <2280 chabash > us up .
: 02 After two days <3117 yowm > will he revive <2421 chayah > us : in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > day <3117 yowm > he will raise <6965 quwm > us up , and we shall live <2421 chayah > in his sight <6440 paniym > .
: 03 Then shall we know <3045 yada< > , [ if ] we follow <7291 radaph > on to know <3045 yada< > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : his going <4161 mowtsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > is prepared <3559 kuwn > as the morning <7837 shachar > ; and he shall come <0935 bow> > unto us as the rain <1653 geshem > , as the latter <4456 malqowsh > [ and ] former <3138 yowreh > rain <3384 yarah > unto the earth <0776 >erets > .
: 04 . O Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > , what <4100 mah > shall I do <6213 <asah > unto thee ? O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , what <4100 mah > shall I do <6213 <asah > unto thee ? for your goodness <2617 checed > [ is ] as a morning <1242 boqer > cloud <6051 <anan > , and as the early <7925 shakam > dew <2919 tal > it goeth <1980 halak > away .
: 05 Therefore have I hewed <2672 chatsab > [ them ] by the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ; I have slain <2026 harag > them by the words <0561 >emer > of my mouth <6310 peh > : and thy judgments <4941 mishpat > [ are as ] the light <0216 >owr > [ that ] goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > .
: 06 For I desired <2654 chaphets > mercy <2617 checed > , and not sacrifice <2077 zebach > ; and the knowledge <1847 da<ath > of God <0430 >elohiym > more than burnt <5930 <olah > offerings .
: 07 But they like men <0120 >adam > have transgressed <5674 <abar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > : there <8033 sham > have they dealt treacherously <0898 bagad > against me .
: 08 Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > [ is ] a city <7151 qiryah > of them that work <6466 pa<al > iniquity <0205 >aven > , [ and is ] polluted <6121 <aqob > with blood <1818 dam > .
: 09 And as troops <1416 g@duwd > of robbers wait <2442 chakah > for a man <0376 >iysh > , [ so ] the company <2267 cheber > of priests <3548 kohen > murder <7523 ratsach > in the way <1870 derek > by consent <7926 sh@kem > : for they commit <6313 puwg > lewdness <2154 zimmah > .
: 10 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > an horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah > thing in the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : there <8033 sham > [ is ] the whoredom <2184 z@nuwth > of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > , Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is defiled <2930 tame> > .
: 11 Also <1571 gam > , O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , he hath set <7896 shiyth > an harvest <7105 qatsiyr > for thee , when I returned <7725 shuwb > the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > .
: Hosea 7
: 01 . When I would have healed <7495 rapha> > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , then the iniquity <5771 <avon > of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > was discovered <1540 galah > , and the wickedness <7451 ra< > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > : for they commit <6466 pa<al > falsehood <8267 sheqer > ; and the thief <1590 gannab > cometh <0935 bow> > in , [ and ] the troop <1416 g@duwd > of robbers spoileth <6584 pashat > without <2351 chuwts > .
: 02 And they consider <0559 >amar > not in their hearts <3824 lebab > [ that ] I remember <2142 zakar > all <3605 kol > their wickedness <7451 ra< > : now their own doings <4611 ma<alal > have beset <5437 cabab > them about <5437 cabab > ; they are before <5048 neged > my face <6440 paniym > .
: 03 They make the king <4428 melek > glad <8056 sameach > with their wickedness <7451 ra< > , and the princes <8269 sar > with their lies <3585 kachash > .
: 04 They [ are ] all <3605 kol > adulterers <5003 na>aph > , as an oven <8574 tannuwr > heated <1197 ba<ar > by the baker <0644 >aphah > , [ who ] ceaseth <7673 shabath > from raising <5872 <Eyn Gediy > after he hath kneaded <3888 luwsh > the dough <1217 batseq > , until <5704 <ad > it be leavened <2557 chametz > .
: 05 In the day <3117 yowm > of our king <4428 melek > the princes <8269 sar > have made [ him ] sick <2470 chalah > with bottles <2573 chemeth > of wine <3196 yayin > ; he stretched <4900 mashak > out his hand <3027 yad > with scorners <3945 latsats > .
: 06 For they have made ready <7126 qarab > their heart <3820 leb > like an oven <8574 tannuwr > , whiles they lie in wait <0693 >arab > : their baker <0644 >aphah > sleepeth <3463 yashen > all <3605 kol > the night <3915 layil > ; in the morning <1242 boqer > it burneth <1197 ba<ar > as a flaming <3852 lehabah > fire <0784 >esh > .
: 07 They are all <3605 kol > hot <2552 chamam > as an oven <8574 tannuwr > , and have devoured <0398 >akal > their judges <8199 shaphat > ; all <3605 kol > their kings <4428 melek > are fallen <5307 naphal > : [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin > among them that calleth <7121 qara> > unto me .
: 08 . Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > , he hath mixed <1101 balal > himself <1931 huw> > among the people <5971 <am > ; Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > is a cake <5692 <uggah > not turned <2015 haphak > .
: 09 Strangers <2114 zuwr > have devoured <0398 >akal > his strength <3581 koach > , and he knoweth <3045 yada< > [ it ] not : yea <1571 gam > , gray <7872 seybah > hairs are here <2236 zaraq > and there upon him , yet he knoweth <3045 yada< > not .
: 10 And the pride <1347 ga>own > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > testifieth <6030 <anah > to his face <6440 paniym > : and they do not return <7725 shuwb > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > , nor <3808 lo> > seek <1245 baqash > him for all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > .
: 11 Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > also is like a silly <6601 pathah > dove <3123 yownah > without <0369 >ayin > heart <3820 leb > : they call <7121 qara> > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , they go <1980 halak > to Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > .
: 12 When <0834 >aher > they shall go <3212 yalak > , I will spread <6566 paras> my net <7568 resheth > upon them ; I will bring <3381 yarad > them down <3381 yarad > as the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven <8064 shamayim > ; I will chastise <3256 yacar > them , as their congregation <5712 <edah > hath heard <8085 shama< > .
: 13 Woe <0188 >owy > unto them ! for they have fled <5074 nadad > from me : destruction <7701 shod > unto them ! because <3588 kiy > they have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me : though I have redeemed <6299 padah > them , yet they have spoken <1696 dabar > lies <3576 kazab > against <5921 <al > me .
: 14 And they have not cried <2199 za<aq > unto me with their heart , when <3588 kiy > they howled <3213 yalal > upon their beds <4904 mishkab > : they assemble <1481 guwr > themselves for corn <1715 dagan > and wine <8492 tiyrowsh > , [ and ] they rebel <5493 cuwr > against me .
: 15 Though I have bound <3256 yacar > [ and ] strengthened <2388 chazaq > their arms <2220 z@rowa< > , yet do they imagine <2803 chashab > mischief <7451 ra< > against <0413 >el > me .
: 16 They return <7725 shuwb > , [ but ] not to the most <5920 <al > High <5920 <al > : they are like a deceitful <7423 r@miyah > bow <7198 qesheth > : their princes <8269 sar > shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > for the rage <2195 za<am > of their tongue <3956 lashown > : this <2097 zow > [ shall be ] their derision <3932 la<ag > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .
: Hosea 8
: 01 . [ Set ] the trumpet <7782 showphar > to thy mouth <2441 chek > . [ He shall come ] as an eagle <5404 nesher > against <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , because <3588 kiy > they have transgressed <5674 <abar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > , and trespassed against <5921 <al > my law <8451 towrah > .
: 02 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall cry <2199 za<aq > unto me , My God <0430 >elohiym > , we know <3045 yada< > thee .
: 03 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath cast <2186 zanach > off [ the thing that is ] good <2896 towb > : the enemy <0341 >oyeb > shall pursue <7291 radaph > him .
: 04 They have set up kings <4428 melek > , but not by me : they have made princes <8269 sar > , and I knew <3045 yada< > [ it ] not : of their silver <3701 keceph > and their gold <2091 zahab > have they made <6213 <asah > them idols <6091 <atsab > , that they may be cut <3772 karath > off .
: 05 Thy calf <5695 <egel > , O Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > , hath cast <2186 zanach > [ thee ] off ; mine anger <0639 >aph > is kindled <2734 charah > against them : how <0349 >eyk > long <5704 <ad > [ will it be ] ere <3808 lo> > they attain <3201 yakol > to innocency <5356 niqqayown > ?
: 06 For from Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [ was ] it also : the workman <2796 charash > made <6213 <asah > it ; therefore it [ is ] not God <0430 >elohiym > : but the calf <5695 <egel > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > shall be broken <7616 shabab > in pieces .
: 07 For they have sown <2232 zara< > the wind <7307 ruwach > , and they shall reap <7114 qatsar > the whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > : it hath no <0369 >ayin > stalk <7054 qamah > : the bud <6779 tsamach > shall yield <6213 <asah > no <0369 >ayin > meal <7058 qemach > : if <0194 >uwlay > so be it yield <6213 <asah > , the strangers <2114 zuwr > shall swallow <1104 bala< > it up .
: 08 . Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is swallowed <1104 bala< > up : now shall they be among the Gentiles <1471 gowy > as a vessel <3627 k@liy > wherein [ is ] no <0369 >ayin > pleasure <2656 chephets > .
: 09 For they are gone <5927 <alah > up to Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , a wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > alone <0909 badad > by himself : Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > hath hired <8566 tanah > lovers <0158 >ahab > .
: 10 Yea <1571 gam > , though <3588 kiy > they have hired <8566 tanah > among the nations <1471 gowy > , now <6258 <attah > will I gather <6908 qabats > them , and they shall sorrow <2490 chalal > a little <4592 m@<at > for the burden <4853 massa> > of the king <4428 melek > of princes <8269 sar > .
: 11 Because <3282 ya<an > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > hath made many <7235 rabah > altars <4196 mizbeach > to sin <2398 chata> > , altars <4196 mizbeach > shall be unto him to sin <2398 chata> > .
: 12 I have written <3789 kathab > to him the great <7239 ribbow > things of my law <8451 towrah > , [ but ] they were counted <2803 chashab > as a strange <2114 zuwr > thing .
: 13 They sacrifice <2076 zabach > flesh <1320 basar > [ for ] the sacrifices <2077 zebach > of mine offerings <1890 habhab > , and eat <0398 >akal > [ it ; but ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > accepteth <7521 ratsah > them not ; now <6258 <attah > will he remember <2142 zakar > their iniquity <5771 <avon > , and visit <6485 paqad > their sins <2403 chatta>ah > : they shall return <7725 shuwb > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .
: 14 For Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath forgotten <7911 shakach > his Maker <6213 <asah > , and buildeth <1129 banah > temples <1964 heykal > ; and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > hath multiplied <7235 rabah > fenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > : but I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > upon his cities <5892 <iyr > , and it shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof .
: Hosea 9
: 01 . Rejoice <8055 samach > not , O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , for joy <1524 giyl > , as [ other ] people <5971 <am > : for thou hast gone a whoring <2181 zanah > from thy God <0430 >elohiym > , thou hast loved <0157 >ahab > a reward <0868 >ethnan > upon every <3605 kol > cornfloor .
: 02 The floor <1637 goren > and the winepress <3342 yeqeb > shall not feed <7462 ra<ah > them , and the new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492 tiyrowsh > shall fail <3584 kachash > in her .
