And the LORD + said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and + children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great + whoredom, departing from the LORD. + +28:001:003 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which + conceived, and bare him a son. + +28:001:004 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a + little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the + house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the + house of Israel. + +28:001:005 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the + bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel. + +28:001:006 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said + unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have + mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them + away. + +28:001:007 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save + them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor + by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. + +28:001:008 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a + son. + +28:001:009 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, + and I will not be your God. + +28:001:010 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand + of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it + shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto + them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, + Ye are the sons of the living God. + +28:001:011 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be + gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they + shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of + Jezreel. + +28:002:001 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. + +28:002:002 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither + am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out + of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; + +28:002:003 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was + born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry + land, and slay her with thirst. + +28:002:004 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the + children of whoredoms. + +28:002:005 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived + them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my + lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my + flax, mine oil and my drink. + +28:002:006 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and + make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. + +28:002:007 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not + overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find + them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first + husband; for then was it better with me than now. + +28:002:008 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, + and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for + Baal. + +28:002:009 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time + thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover + my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness. + +28:002:010 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her + lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. + +28:002:011 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her + new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. + +28:002:012 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she + hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: + and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field + shall eat them. + +28:002:013 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she + burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her + earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and + forgat me, saith the LORD. + +28:002:014 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the + wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. + +28:002:015 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley + of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in + the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out + of the land of Egypt. + +28:002:016 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt + call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. + +28:002:017 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and + they shall no more be remembered by their name. + +28:002:018 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the + beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the + creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and + the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them + to lie down safely. + +28:002:019 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth + thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in + lovingkindness, and in mercies. + +28:002:020 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou + shalt know the LORD. + +28:002:021 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the + LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; + +28:002:022 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; + and they shall hear Jezreel. + +28:002:023 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy + upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them + which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall + say, Thou art my God. + +28:003:001 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of + her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the + LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, + and love flagons of wine. + +28:003:002 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an + homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: + +28:003:003 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou + shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another + man: so will I also be for thee. + +28:003:004 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a + king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and + without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: + +28:003:005 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the + LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD + and his goodness in the latter days. + +28:004:001 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD + hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because + there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the + land. + +28:004:002 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and + committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. + +28:004:003 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth + therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with + the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be + taken away. + +28:004:004 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are + as they that strive with the priest. + +28:004:005 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also + shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy + mother. + +28:004:006 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou + hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou + shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law + of thy God, I will also forget thy children. + +28:004:007 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore + will I change their glory into shame. + +28:004:008 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on + their iniquity. + +28:004:009 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will + punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. + +28:004:010 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit + whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off + to take heed to the LORD. + +28:004:011 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. + +28:004:012 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff + declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused + them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their + God. + +28:004:013 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn + incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, + because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters + shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. + +28:004:014 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, + nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are + separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: + therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall. + +28:004:015 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah + offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to + Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth. + +28:004:016 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD + will feed them as a lamb in a large place. + +28:004:017 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. + +28:004:018 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: + her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. + +28:004:019 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be + ashamed because of their sacrifices. + +28:005:001 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and + give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, + because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon + Tabor. + +28:005:002 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I + have been a rebuker of them all. + +28:005:003 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O + Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. + +28:005:004 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for + the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have + not known the LORD. + +28:005:005 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore + shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also + shall fall with them. + +28:005:006 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek + the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn + himself from them. + +28:005:007 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have + begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with + their portions. + +28:005:008 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry + aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin. + +28:005:009 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the + tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. + +28:005:010 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: + therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. + +28:005:011 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he + willingly walked after the commandment. + +28:005:012 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house + of Judah as rottenness. + +28:005:013 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then + went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet + could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. + +28:005:014 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to + the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will + take away, and none shall rescue him. + +28:005:015 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their + offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek + me early. + +28:006:001 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and + he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. + +28:006:002 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will + raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. + +28:006:003 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his + going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto + us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. + +28:006:004 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do + unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the + early dew it goeth away. + +28:006:005 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them + by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light + that goeth forth. + +28:006:006 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of + God more than burnt offerings. + +28:006:007 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have + they dealt treacherously against me. + +28:006:008 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted + with blood. + +28:006:009 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of + priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit + lewdness. + +28:006:010 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is + the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. + +28:006:011 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I + returned the captivity of my people. + +28:007:001 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim + was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit + falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers + spoileth without. + +28:007:002 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all + their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; + they are before my face. + +28:007:003 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes + with their lies. + +28:007:004 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who + ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it + be leavened. + +28:007:005 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with + bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. + +28:007:006 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they + lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the + morning it burneth as a flaming fire. + +28:007:007 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; + all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that + calleth unto me. + +28:007:008 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a + cake not turned. + +28:007:009 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: + yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth + not. + +28:007:010 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do + not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this. + +28:007:011 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to + Egypt, they go to Assyria. + +28:007:012 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will + bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise + them, as their congregation hath heard. + +28:007:013 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto + them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have + redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. + +28:007:014 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they + howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and + wine, and they rebel against me. + +28:007:015 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they + imagine mischief against me. + +28:007:016 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a + deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the + rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land + of Egypt. + +28:008:001 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle + against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed + my covenant, and trespassed against my law. + +28:008:002 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. + +28:008:003 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall + pursue him. + +28:008:004 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, + and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they + made them idols, that they may be cut off. + +28:008:005 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled + against them: how long will it be ere they attain to + innocency? + +28:008:006 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it + is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. + +28:008:007 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the + whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if + so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. + +28:008:008 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles + as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. + +28:008:009 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: + Ephraim hath hired lovers. + +28:008:010 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I + gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of + the king of princes. + +28:008:011 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be + unto him to sin. + +28:008:012 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they + were counted as a strange thing. + +28:008:013 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and + eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember + their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to + Egypt. + +28:008:014 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and + Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire + upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. + +28:009:001 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. + +28:009:002 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new + wine shall fail in her. + +28:009:003 They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall + return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. + +28:009:004 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. + +28:009:005 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast + of the LORD? + +28:009:006 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. + +28:009:007 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. + +28:009:008 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. + +28:009:009 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of + Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will + visit their sins. + +28:009:010 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. + +28:009:011 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from + the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. + +28:009:012 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! + +28:009:013 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but + Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. + +28:009:014 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a + miscarrying womb and dry breasts. + +28:009:015 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. + +28:009:016 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. + +28:009:017 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto + him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations. + +28:010:001 Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: + according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the + altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made + goodly images. + +28:010:002 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he + shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images. + +28:010:003 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not + the LORD; what then should a king do to us? + +28:010:004 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: + thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the + field. + +28:010:005 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of + Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the + priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, + because it is departed from it. + +28:010:006 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king + Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be + ashamed of his own counsel. + +28:010:007 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the + water. + +28:010:008 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be + destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their + altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to + the hills, Fall on us. + +28:010:009 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they + stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity + did not overtake them. + +28:010:010 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people + shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind + themselves in their two furrows. + +28:010:011 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to + tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I + will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall + break his clods. + +28:010:012 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up + your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he + come and rain righteousness upon you. + +28:010:013 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have + eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, + in the multitude of thy mighty men. + +28:010:014 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy + fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in + the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her + children. + +28:010:015 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: + in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off. + +28:011:001 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son + out of Egypt. + +28:011:002 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed + unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. + +28:011:003 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but + they knew not that I healed them. + +28:011:004 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was + to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I + laid meat unto them. + +28:011:005 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian + shall be his king, because they refused to return. + +28:011:006 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his + branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. + +28:011:007 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they + called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. + +28:011:008 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, + Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee + as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are + kindled together. + +28:011:009 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not + return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy + One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. + +28:011:010 They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: + when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the + west. + +28:011:011 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out + of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, + saith the LORD. + +28:011:012 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel + with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful + with the saints. + +28:012:001 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he + daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a + covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. + +28:012:002 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish + Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he + recompense him. + +28:012:003 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his + strength he had power with God: + +28:012:004 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and + made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there + he spake with us; + +28:012:005 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. + +28:012:006 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and + wait on thy God continually. + +28:012:007 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he + loveth to oppress. + +28:012:008 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out + substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in + me that were sin. + +28:012:009 And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet + make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the + solemn feast. + +28:012:010 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied + visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the + prophets. + +28:012:011 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they + sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps + in the furrows of the fields. + +28:012:012 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served + for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. + +28:012:013 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by + a prophet was he preserved. + +28:012:014 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall + he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD + return unto him. + +28:013:001 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; + but when he offended in Baal, he died. + +28:013:002 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten + images of their silver, and idols according to their own + understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say + of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. + +28:013:003 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early + dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the + whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the + chimney. + +28:013:004 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou + shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. + +28:013:005 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great + drought. + +28:013:006 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were + filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they + forgotten me. + +28:013:007 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the + way will I observe them: + +28:013:008 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and + will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour + them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. + +28:013:009 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine + help. + +28:013:010 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in + all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a + king and princes? + +28:013:011 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my + wrath. + +28:013:012 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. + +28:013:013 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is + an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the + breaking forth of children. + +28:013:014 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem + them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I + will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine + eyes. + +28:013:015 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall + come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, + and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be + dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. + +28:013:016 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against + her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be + dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped + up. + +28:014:001 O israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen + by thine iniquity. + +28:014:002 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take + away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we + render the calves of our lips. + +28:014:003 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: + neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are + our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. + +28:014:004 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for + mine anger is turned away from him. + +28:014:005 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, + and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. + +28:014:006 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the + olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. + +28:014:007 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall + revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof + shall be as the wine of Lebanon. + +28:014:008 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I + have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. + From me is thy fruit found. + +28:014:009 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, + and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, + and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall + fall therein. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 28 *** + +********** This file should be named 8028.txt or 8028.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
