Hosea 9
|
|
| 9:1
Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring
from thy God, thou hast
loved a reward upon every cornfloor. |
Israel has "gone a whoring" and has
"loved a reward upon every cornfloor."
|
| 9:2
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall
fail in her. |
|
| 9:3
They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but
Ephraim shall return to
Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. |
Will Ephraim return to Egypt?
|
| 9:4
They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be
pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of
mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their
soul shall not come into the house of the LORD. |
|
| 9:5
What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the
LORD? |
|
| 9:6
For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up,
Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall
possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles. |
|
| 9:7
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel
shall know it: the prophet
is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine
iniquity, and the great hatred. |
"The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad."
|
| 9:8
The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a
fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God. |
|
| 9:9
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore
he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins. |
|
| 9:10
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the
firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and
separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according
as they loved. |
|
| 9:11
As for Ephraim, their
glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and
from the conception. |
(9:11-12)
God will induce miscarriages and kill the children of Ephraim.
|
| 9:12
Though they bring up
their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man
left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
|
| 9:13
Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall
bring forth his children to the murderer. |
|
| 9:14
Give them, O LORD: what
wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. |
"O Lord: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts."

|
| 9:15
All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their
doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more:
all their princes are revolters. |
"I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings."
God hates the sinner even more than the sin.

Does God love everyone?
|
| 9:16
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring
forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. |
"I will slay even the beloved fruit of their womb."
