Hoshea (Hosea)
“Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.
- They cry to me, ‘My God, we Israel acknowledge you!’
- Israel has cast off that which is good.
- The enemy will pursue him.
- They have set up kings, but not by me.
- They have made princes, and I didn’t approve.
- Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols,
- that they may be cut off.
- Let Samaria throw out his calf idol!
- My anger burns against them!
- How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
- For this is even from Israel!
- The workman made it, and it is no God;
- indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
- For they sow the wind,
- and they will reap the whirlwind.
- He has no standing grain.
- The stalk will yield no head.
- If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
- Israel is swallowed up.
- Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
- For they have gone up to Assyria,
- like a wild donkey wandering alone.
- Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
- But although they sold themselves among the nations,
- I will now gather them;
- and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
- Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning,
- they became for him altars for sinning.
Ketib: אכתוב־ ⬪ Qere: אֶ֨כְתָּב־
Ketib: רבו ⬪ Qere: רֻבֵּ֖י
Ketib: רבו ⬪ Qere: רֻבֵּ֖י
- I wrote for him the many things of my law;
- but they were regarded as a strange thing.
- As for the sacrifices of my offerings,
- they sacrifice flesh and eat it;
- But Yahweh doesn’t accept them.
- Now he will remember their iniquity,
- and punish their sins.
- They will return to Egypt.
- For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
- and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
- but I will send a fire on his cities,
- and it will devour its fortresses.”
