Lord first spoke through Hosea the Lord said to Hosea go take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord so he went and took Gomer the daughter of Dibley him and she conceived and bore him a son and the Lord said to him call his name Jezreel for in just a little while I will punish the house of jihyun for the blood of Jezreel and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel and on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel she conceived again and bore a daughter and the Lord said to him call her name no mercy for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel to forgive them at all but I will have mercy on the house of Judah and I will save them by the Lord their God I will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen when she had weaned no mercy she conceived and bore a son and the Lord said call his name not my people for you are not my people and I am not your God yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or numbered and in the place where it was said to them you are not my people it shall be said to him children of the Living God and the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together and they shall appoint for themselves one head and they shall go up from the land for great shall be the day of Jezreel you Hosea to say to your brothers you are my people and to your sisters you have received mercy plead with your mother plead for she is not my wife and I am NOT her husband that she put away her whoring from her face and her adultery from between her breasts lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born and make her like a wilderness and make her like a parched land and kill her with thirst upon her children also I will have no mercy because they are children of hoardin for their mother has played the she who conceived them has acted shamefully for she said I will go after my lovers who give me my bread and my water my will and my flax my oil and my drink therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns and I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths she shall pursue her love us but not overtake me and she shall seek him but shall not find him then she shall say I will go and return to my first husband it was better for me then and now and she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain the wine and the oil and who lavished on her silver and gold which they used for Bailey therefore I will take back my grain in its time and my wine in its seasons and I will take away my wool and my flax which were to cover her nakedness now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lover's and no one shall rescue her out of my hand and I will put an end to all her murder her feasts her new moons her Sabbath's and all her appointed feasts and I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees of which these are my wages which my lovers have given me I will make them a forest and the beasts of the field shall devour them and I will punish her for the feast days of the fails when she burned offerings to them and adorned herself with her rainy and jewelry and went after her lovers and forgot me declares the Lord therefore behold I will allure her and bring her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her and there I will give her her vineyards and make the valley of Achor a door of hope and there she shall answer as in the days of her youth as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt and in that day declares the Lord he will call me my husband and no longer will you call me my bail for I will remove the names of the veils from her mouth and they shall be remembered by name no more and I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field the birds of the heavens and the creeping things of the ground and I will abolish the foe the sword and war from the land and I will make you lie down in safety and I will betroth you to me forever I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice in steadfast love and in mercy I will betroth you to me in faithfulness and you shall know the Lord and in that day I will answer declares the Lord I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth and the earth shall answer the grain the wine and the oil and they shall answer Jezreel and I will show her for myself in the land and I will have mercy on know mercy and I will say to not my people you are my people and he shall say you are my god you Hosea 3 said to me go again love a woman who is loved by another man and as an adulteress even as the Lord loves the children of Israel though they turned to other gods and love cakes of raisins so I bought her for 15 shekels of silver and a homer and Ali thick of barley and I said to her you must dwell as mine for many days you shall not play the or belong to another man so will I also be to you for the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or Prince without sacrifice or pillar without ephod or household gods afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God and David their King and they shall come in fear to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days you hosea for here the word of the Lord no children of Israel for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land there is no faithfulness or steadfast love and no knowledge of God in the land there is swearing lying murder stealing and committing adultery they break all bounds and bloodshed follows bloodshed therefore the land mourns and all who dwell in it languish and also the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens and even the fish of the sea are taken away yet let no one contend then let none accuse for with you is my contention o priest you shall stumble by day the prophet also shall stumble with you by night and I will destroy your mother my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge I reject you from being a priest to me and since you have forgotten the law of your God I also will forget your children the more they increase the more they send against me I will change their glory into shade they feed on the sin of my people they are greedy for their iniquity and it shall be like people like priests I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds they shall eat but not be satisfied they shall play the but not multiply because they have forsaken the Lord to cherish whoredom wine a new one which take away the understanding my people inquire of a piece of food and their walking staff gives them Oracle's for a spirit of whoredom has led him astray and they have left their God to play the they sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn offerings on the hills under open poplar and terrible because their shade is good therefore your daughter's play the and your brides commit a daughter I will not punish your daughters when they play the nor your Brides when they commit adultery for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes and sacrifice with cult prostitutes and a people without understanding shall come to ruin though you play the o Israel let not Judah become guilty inter not in to Gilgal nor go up to Beth Aven and swear not as the Lord lives like a stubborn heifer Israel is stubborn can the Lord now feed them like a lamb in a broad pastured Ephraim is joined to idols leave him alone when their drink is gone naked themselves to whoring their rulers dearly love shame a wind has wrapped them in its wings and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices you Isaiah 5 here this o priests pay attention o house of Israel give ear o house of the King for the judgment is for you for you have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread upon table and the revolt errs have gone deep into slaughter but I will discipline all of them I know 'iframe and Israel is not hidden from me for now Oh Ephraim you have played the Israel is defiled their deeds do not permit them to return to their God for the spirit of whoredom is within them and they know not of the Lord the pride of Israel testifies to his face israel and ephraim shall stumble in his guilty Judah also shall stumble with him with their flocks and herds they shall go to seek the Lord but they will not find him he has withdrawn from them they have dealt faithless li with the Lord for they have borne alien children now the new moon shall devour them with their fields blow the horn and gibeom the trumpet in Ramah sound the alarm at Beth Haven we follow you open German 'iframe shall become a desolation in the day of punishment among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure the princes of Judah have become like those who move the land mark upon them I will pour out my wrath like water Ibrahim is oppressed crushed in judgment because he was determined to go after field but I am like a moth to Ephraim and like dry rot to the house of Judah when Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound then he fram went to Assyria and sent to the great king but he is not able to cure you or heal your wound for I will be like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah I even I will tear and go away I will carry off and no one shall rescue I will return again to my place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face and in their distress earnestly seek me you Hosea six come let us return to the Lord for he has torn us that he may heal us yes struck us down and he will bind us up after two days he will revive us on the third day he will raise us up that we may live before him let us know let us press on to know the Lord his going out as sure as the dawn he will come to us as the showers as the spring rains that water the earth what shall I do with you Oh III what shall I do with you Oh Judah your love is like a morning cloud like the dew that goes early away therefore I have hewn them by the prophets I have slain them by the words of my mouth and my judgment goes forth as the light for I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings but like Adam they transgressed the covenant there they dealt faithless ly with me Gilead is a city of evildoers tracked with blood as robbers lie and wait for a man so the priests band together they murder on the way to Shechem they commit villainy in the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing he frames whoredom is there Israel is defiling for you also Oh Judah our harvest is appointed when I restore the fortunes of my people you Hosea 7 when I would heal Israel the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed and the evil deeds of Samaria for they deal falsely the thief breaks in and the bandits raid outside but they do not consider that I remember all their evil now their deeds surround them they are before my face by their evil they make the King glad and the princes by their treachery they are all adulterers they are like a heated oven whose baker ceases to stir the fire from the kneading of the dough until it is Lebanon on the day of our king the princes became sick with the heat of wine he stretched out his hand with moccasins for with hearts like an oven they approach their intrigue all night their anger Smulders in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire all of them are hot as an oven and they devour their rulers all their kings have fallen and none of them calls upon me Ephraim mixes himself with the people's he Fraley is a cakey not turned strangers devour his strength and he knows it not gray hairs are sprinkled upon him and he knows it not the pride of Israel testifies to his face yet they do not return to the Lord their God nor seek him for all of us the frame is like a dove Cillian without sits calling to Egypt going to Assyria as they go I will spread over them my net I will bring them down like birds of the heavens I will discipline them according to the report made to their congregations woe to them for they have strayed from me destruction to them for they have rebelled against me I would redeem them but they speak lies against me they do not cry to me from the heart but they wear upon their beds for grain and wine they gash themselves they rebelled against me although I trained and strengthened their arms yet they devised evil against me they return but not upward they are like a treacherous bow their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt you Hosea 8 set the trumpet to your lips 1 like a vulture is over the house of the Lord because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law to me they cry my god we Israeli no you Israel has spurned the good the enemy shall pursue him they made Kings but not through me they said a princess but I knew it not with their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction I have spurned your care for Samaria my anger burns against them how long will they be incapable of innocence for it is from Israel a craftsman mate it is not God the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces for they sow the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind the standing grain has no heads it shall yield no flower if it were to yield strangers would devour it Israel is swallowed up already they are among the nations as a useless vessel for they have gone up to a Syrian a wild donkey wandering alone Ephraim has hired lovers though they hire allies among the nations I will soon gather them up and the king and princes shall soon ride because of the tribute because ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning they have become to him alters forces were I to write for him my laws by the 10 thousands they would be regarded as a strange thing as for my sacrificial offerings they sacrifice meat and eat it but the Lord does not accept them now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins they shall return to Egypt for Israel has forgotten his maker and built palaces and Judah has multiplied fortified cities so I will send a fire upon his cities and it shall devour her strongholds you Hosea 9 rejoice not oh israel exalt not like the people's for you have played the whole forsake in your garden you have loved a prostitutes wages on all threshing floors threshing floor and wine that shall not feed them and the new wines shall fail him they shall love remain in the land of the Lord but Ephraim shall return to Egypt and they shall eat unclean food in Assyrian they shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord and their sacrifices shall not please him it shall be like mourners bread to them all who eat if it shall be defiled for their bread shall be for their hunger only it shall not come to the house of the Lord what will you do on the day of the appointed festival and on the day of the feast of the Lord for behold they are going away from destruction but Egypt shall gather them Memphis shall bury them metals shall possess their precious things of silver thorns shall be in their tenses the days of punishment have come the days of recompense have come Israel shall know it the Prophet is a fool the man of the Spirit is mad because of your great iniquity and great hatred the Prophet is the watchman of Ephraim with my god yet a Fowler snare is on all his ways and hatred in the house of his Garland they have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah he will remember their iniquity he will punish their sins like grapes in the wilderness I found Israel like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season I saw your father's but they came to bail peor and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame and became detestable like the thing they loved he frames glory shall fly away like a bird no birth no pregnancy Oh Concepcion even if they bring up children I will believe them till none is left woe to them when I depart from them he Freya as I have seen was like a young palm planted in a manner but he frame must lead his children out to slaughter give him O

house I will love them no more all their princes are rebels a frame is stricken their route is dried up they shall bear no fruit even though they give birth I will put their beloved children to death my regard will reject him because they have not listened to him they shall be Wanderers among the nations you Hosea tanyon Israel is a luxury and fine that yields its fruit the more his fruit increased the more Alton's he did as his country improved he improved his pillars their heart is false now they must bear their guilt the Lord will break down their altars and destroy their pillars for now they will say we have no king or we do not fear the Lord and a king what could he do for us they utter mere words with empty ODEs they make covenants so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field the inhabitants of Samaria trembled for the calf of bet even its people mourn for it and so do its idolatrous priests those who rejoiced over it and over its glory for it has departed from the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria as tribute to the great king III AM shall be put to shame and Israel shall be ashamed of his ID line some areas King shall perish like a twig on the face of the waters the high places of even the sin of Israel shall be destroyed thorn and business shall grow upon their altars and they shall say to the mountains cover us and to the hills fall on us from the days of Gibeah you have sinned o Israel there they have continued shall not the war against the unjust overtake them in Gibeah when I please I will discipline them and nations shall be gathered against them when they are bound up for their double iniquity III was a trained cat that loved to Thresh and I spared her fair neck but I will put the frame into the yoke Judah must plow Jacob must Harrow for himself so for yourselves righteousness reap steadfast love break up your fallow ground for it is the time to seek the Lord that he may come in ray in righteousness upon you you have plowed iniquity you have reaped injustice you have eaten the fruit of lies because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your warriors therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people and all your fortresses shall be destroyed as Shaolin destroyed bethe Arbor on the day of battle mothers were dashed in pieces with their children thus it shall be done to you o vessel because of your great evil at dawn the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off you Hosea 11 when Israel was a child I loved him and out of Egypt I called my son the more they were called the more they went away they kept sacrificing to the bails and burning offerings to idols the other was I who taught Ibrahim to walk I took them up by their arms but they did not know that I healed them I led them with cords of kindness with the bands of love and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws and I bent down to them and fed them they shall not return to the land of Egypt but Assyria shall be their king because they have refused to return to me the sword shall rage against their cities consume the bars of their gates and devour them because of their own counsels my people are bent on turning away from me and though they call out to the Most High he shall not raise them up at all how can I give you up Oh III how can I hand you over Oh Israel how can I make you like adman how can I treat you like ciborium my heart recoils within me my compassion grows warm and tender I will not execute my burning anger I will not again destroy a frame for I am God and not a man the Holy One in your midst and I will not come in wrath they shall go after the Lord he will roar like a lion when he roars his children shall come trembling from the West they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria and I will return them to their homes declares the Lord if RAM has surrounded me with lies in the house of Israel with the CC but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One you Hosea 12 Ephraim feeds on the wind and pursues the east wind all day long they multiply falsehood and violence they make a covenant with the Syria and oil is carried to Egypt the Lord has an indictment against Judah and will punish Jacob according to his ways he will repay him according to his deeds in the womb he took his brother by the heel and in his manhood he strove with God he strove with the angel and prevailed he wept and sought his favour he met God at Bethel and their God spoke with us the Lord the God of hosts the Lord is his memorial name so you by the help of your God returns hold fast to love and justice and wait continually for your God a merchant in whose hands are false balances he loves to oppress Ephraim has said ah but I am rich I have found wealth for myself in all my Labor's they cannot find in me iniquity or sin I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt I will again make you dwell in tents as in the days of the appointed feast I spoke to the prophets it was I who multiplied visions and through the prophets gave parables if there is a nick wa t in Gilead they shall surely come to nothing in Gilgal they sacrifice Bulls their altars also are like stone heaps on the furrows of the field Jacob fled to the land of Aaron their Israel served for a wife and for a wife who guarded sheep by a prophet the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt and by a prophet he was guard on Ephraim has given bitter provocations so his Lord will leave his blood guilt on him and will repay him for his disgraceful deeds you you Hosea 13 when he framed spoke there was trembling he was exalted in Israel but he incurred guilt through bail and died and now they sin more and more and make for themselves metal images idols skillfully made of their silver all of them the work of craftsmen it is said of him those who offer human sacrifice kiss Chazz therefore they shall be like the morning mist or like the dew that goes early away like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor or like smoke from a window but I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt you know no God but me and besides me there is no Savior it was I who knew you in the wilderness in the land of drought but when they had graze they became fool they were filled and their heart was lifted up therefore they forgot me so I am to them like a lion like a leopard I will lurk beside the way I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs I will tear open their breasts and there I will devour them like a lion as a wild beast was ripped him open he destroys you O Israel for you are against me against your helper where now is your king to save you in all your cities where are all your rulers those of whom you said give me a king and princes I gave you a king in my anger and I took him away in my wrath the iniquity of ephraim is bound up his sin is kept in store the pangs of childbirth come for him

plagues Oh she'll where is your sting compassion is hidden from my eyes though he may flourish among his brothers the east wind the wind of the Lord shall come rising from the wilderness and his
