TSK · Hosea 9:3

So do not make the land vomit you out because you defile it just as it has vomited out the nations that were before you.

The land must not be sold without reclaim because the land belongs to me, for you are foreign residents, temporary settlers, with me.

This is what will happen: Just as the LORD delighted to do good for you and make you numerous, he will take delight in destroying and decimating you. You will be uprooted from the land you are about to possess.

But in the same way every faithful promise the LORD your God made to you has been realized, it is just as certain, if you disobey, that the LORD will bring on you every judgment until he destroys you from this good land which the LORD your God gave you.

In the ninth year of Hoshea’s reign, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the people of Israel to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, along the Habor(the river of Gozan), and in the cities of the Medes.

I brought you into a fertile land so you could enjoy its fruits and its rich bounty. But when you entered my land, you defiled it; you made the land I call my own loathsome to me.

And the LORD said,“This is how the people of Israel will eat their unclean food among the nations where I will banish them.”

Israel Turns to Assyria and Egypt for Help Ephraim has been like a dove, easily deceived and lacking discernment. They called to Egypt for help; they turned to Assyria for protection.

They offer up sacrificial gifts to me, and eat the meat, but the LORD does not accept their sacrifices. Soon he will remember their wrongdoing, he will punish their sins, and they will return to Egypt.

They will return to Egypt! Assyria will rule over them because they refuse to repent!

But you are the ones who will be forced to leave! For this land is not secure! Sin will thoroughly destroy it!
