:Hosea 1
:1. 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 >.
:2. 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 >.
:3 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 >.
:4 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 >.
:5 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 >.
:6 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.
:7 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 >.
:8. Now when she had weaned <1580 gamal > Loruhamah <3819 Lo> Ruchamah >, she conceived <2030 hareh >, and bare <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben >.
:9 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
:1. Say <0559 >amar > ye unto your brethren <0251 >ach >, Ammi <5971 <am >; and to your sisters <0269 >achowth >, Ruhamah <7355 racham >.
:2 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 >;
:3 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> >.
:4 And I will not have mercy <7355 racham > upon her children <1121 ben >; for they [be] the children <1121 ben > of whoredoms <2183 zanuwn >.
:5 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 >.
:6. 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 >.
:7 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 >.
:8 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 >.
:9 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
:1. 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 >.
:2 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 >:
:3 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.
:4 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 >:
:5 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
:1. 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 >.
:2 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 >.
:3 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.
:4 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 >.
:5 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 >.
:6. 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 >.
:7 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 >.
:8 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 >.
:9 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.

:1. 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 >.
:2 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 >.
:3 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> >.
:4 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 >.
:5 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.
:6 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.
:7 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 >.
:8. 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 >.
:9 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
:1. 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.
:2 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 >.
:3 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 >.
:4. 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.
:5 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> >.
:6 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.
:7 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.
:8 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 >.
:9 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
:1. 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 >.
:2 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 >.
:3 They make the king <4428 melek > glad <8056 sameach > with their wickedness <7451 ra< >, and the princes <8269 sar > with their lies <3585 kachash >.
:4 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 >.
:5 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 >.
:6 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 >.
:7 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.
:8. 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 >.
:9 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
:1. [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 >.
:2 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall cry <2199 za<aq > unto me, My God <0430 >elohiym >, we know <3045 yada< > thee.
:3 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.
:4 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.
:5 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 >?
:6 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.
:7 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.
:8. 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 >.
:9 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
:1. 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.
