Hosea 9

1 ♥ 📝 R ejoice^H8055 not, O Israel,^H3478 for joy,^H1524 like the peoples;^H5971 for thou hast played the harlot,^H2181 [departing] from thy God;^H430 thou hast loved^H157 hire^H868 upon every grain-floor.^H1637

2 ♥ 📝 The threshing-floor^H1637 and the winepress^H3342 shall not feed^H7462 them, and the new wine^H8492 shall fail^H3584 her.

3 ♥ 📝 They shall not dwell^H3427 in Jehovah's^H3068 land;^H776 but Ephraim^H669 shall return^H7725 to Egypt,^H4714 and they shall eat^H398 unclean^H2931 food in Assyria.^H804

4 ♥ 📝 They shall not pour^H5258 out [wine-]^H3196 [offerings] to Jehovah,^H3068 neither shall they be pleasing^H6149 unto him: their sacrifices^H2077 shall be unto them as the bread^H3899 of mourners;^H205 all that eat^H398 thereof shall be polluted;^H2930 for their bread^H3899 shall be for their appetite;^H5315 it shall not come^H935 into the house^H1004 of Jehovah.^H3068

5 ♥ 📝 What will ye do^H6213 in the day^H3117 of solemn^H4150 assembly, and in the day^H3117 of the feast^H2282 of Jehovah?^H3068

6 ♥ 📝 For, lo, they are gone^H1980 away from destruction;^H7701 [yet] Egypt^H4714 shall gather them up,^H6908 Memphis^H4644 shall bury^H6912 them; their pleasant^H4261 things of silver,^H3701 nettles^H7057 shall possess^H3423 them; thorns^H2336 shall be in their tents.^H168

7 ♥ 📝 The days^H3117 of visitation^H6486 are come,^H935 the days^H3117 of recompense^H7966 are come;^H935 Israel^H3478 shall know^H3045 it: the prophet^H5030 is a fool,^H191 the man^H376 that hath the spirit^H7307 is mad,^H7696 for the abundance^H7230 of thine iniquity,^H5771 and because the enmity^H4895 is great.^H7227

8 ♥ 📝 Ephraim^H669 [was] a watchman^H6822 with my God:^H430 as for the prophet,^H5030 a fowler's^H3352 snare^H6341 is in all his ways,^H1870 [and] enmity^H4895 in the house^H1004 of his God.^H430

9 ♥ 📝 They have deeply^H6009 corrupted^H7843 themselves, as in the days^H3117 of Gibeah:^H1390 he will remember^H2142 their iniquity,^H5771 he will visit^H6485 their sins.^H2403

10 ♥ 📝 I found^H4672 Israel^H3478 like grapes^H6025 in the wilderness;^H4057 I saw^H7200 your fathers^H1 as the first-ripe^H1063 in the fig-tree^H8384 at its first season:^H7225 but they came^H935 to Baal-peor,^H1187 and consecrated^H5144 themselves unto the shameful^H1322 thing, and became abominable^H8251 like that which they loved.^H157

11 ♥ 📝 As for Ephraim,^H669 their glory^H3519 shall fly away^H5774 like a bird:^H5775 there shall be no birth,^H3205 and none with child,^H990 and no conception.^H2032

12 ♥ 📝 Though they bring up^H1431 their children,^H1121 yet will I bereave^H7921 them, so that not a man^H120 shall be left: yea, woe^H188 also to them when I depart^H5493 from them!

13 ♥ 📝 Ephraim,^H669 like as I have seen^H7200 Tyre,^H6865 is planted^H8362 in a pleasant place:^H5116 but Ephraim^H669 shall bring out^H3318 his children^H1121 to the slayer.^H2026

14 ♥ 📝 Give^H5414 them, O Jehovah—what^H3068 wilt thou give?^H5414 give^H5414 them a miscarrying^H7921 womb^H7358 and dry^H6784 breasts.^H7699

15 ♥ 📝 All their wickedness^H7451 is in Gilgal;^H1537 for there I hated^H8130 them: because of the wickedness^H7455 of their doings^H4611 I will drive them out^H1644 of my house;^H1004 I will love^H160 them no more;^H3254 all their princes^H8269 are revolters.^H5637

16 ♥ 📝 Ephraim^H669 is smitten,^H5221 their root^H8328 is dried up,^H3001 they shall bear^H6213 no fruit:^H6529 yea, though they bring forth,^H3205 yet will I slay^H4191 the beloved^H4261 fruit of their womb.^H990

17 ♥ 📝 My God^H430 will cast them away,^H3988 because they did not hearken^H8085 unto him; and they shall be wanderers^H5074 among the nations.^H1471
