+
+
+THE PROPHECY OF OSEE
+
+OSEE, or Hosea, whose name signifies A saviour, was the first in the
+order of time among those who are commonly called lesser prophets,
+because their prophecies are short. He prophesied in the kingdom of
+Israel, that is, of the ten tribes, about the same time that Isaias
+prophesied in the kingdom of Juda.
+
+
+Osee Chapter 1
+
+By marrying a harlot, and by the names of his children, the prophet sets
+forth the crimes of Israel and their punishment. He foretells their
+redemption by Christ.
+
+1:1. The word of the Lord, that came to Osee, the son of Beeri, in the
+days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda, and in the
+days of Jeroboam, the son of Joas, king of Israel.
+
+1:2. The beginning of the Lord's speaking by Osee: and the Lord said to
+Osee: Go, take thee a wife of fornications, and have of her children of
+fornications: for the land by fornication shall depart from the Lord.
+
+A wife of fornications... That is, a wife that has been given to
+fornication. This was to represent the Lord's proceedings with his
+people Israel, who, by spiritual fornication, were continually offending
+him.-Ibid. Children of fornications... So called from the character of
+their mother, if not also from their own wicked dispositions.
+
+1:3. So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Debelaim: and she
+conceived, and bore him a son.
+
+1:4. And the Lord said to him: Call his name Jezrahel: for yet a little
+while, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel upon the house of Jehu,
+and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
+
+1:5. And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel in the
+valley of Jezrahel.
+
+1:6. And she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he said to him:
+Call her name, Without mercy: for I will not add any more to have mercy
+on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.
+
+Without mercy... Lo-Ruhamah.
+
+1:7. And I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and I will save them by
+the Lord, their God: and I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor
+by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.
+
+1:8. And she weaned her that was called Without mercy. And she
+conceived, and bore a son.
+
+1:9. And he said: Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my
+people, and I will not be yours.
+
+Not my people... Lo-ammi.
+
+1:10. And the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of
+the sea, that is without measure, and shall not be numbered. And it
+shall be in the place where it shall be said to them: You are not my
+people: it shall be said to them: Ye are the sons of the living God.
+
+The number, etc... Viz., of the true Israelites, the children of the
+church of Christ.
+
+1:11. And the children of Juda, and the children of Israel, shall be
+gathered together: and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall
+come up out of the land: for great is the day of Jezrahel.
+
+One head... viz., Christ.-Ibid. Great is the day of Jezrahel... That is,
+of the seed of God; for Jezrahel signifies the seed of God.
+
+Osee Chapter 2
+
+Israel is justly punished for leaving God. The abundance of grace in the
+church of Christ.
+
+2:1. Say ye to your brethren: You are my people: and to your sister:
+Thou hast obtained mercy.
+
+Say to your brethren, etc... or, Call your brethren, My people: and your
+sister, Her that hath obtained mercy. This is connected with the latter
+end of the foregoing chapter, and relates to the converts of Israel.
+
+2:2. Judge your mother, judge her: because she is not my wife, and I am
+not her husband. Let her put away her fornications from her face, and
+her adulteries from between her breasts.
+
+Your mother... The synagogue.
+
+2:3. Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was
+born: and I will make her as a wilderness, and will set her as a land
+that none can pass through and will kill her with drought.
+
+2:4. And I will not have mercy on her children for they are the
+children of fornications.
+
+2:5. For their mother hath committed fornication, she that conceived
+them is covered with shame: for she said: I will go after my lovers,
+that give me my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, my oil, and
+my drink.
+
+2:6. Wherefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will
+stop it up with a wall, and she shall not find her paths.
+
+2:7. And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them:
+and she shall seek them, and shall not find, and she shall say: I will
+go, and return to my first husband: because it was better with me then
+than now.
+
+2:8. And she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and
+multiplied her silver, and gold, which they have used in the service of
+Baal.
+
+2:9. Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in its season, and
+my wine in its season, and I will set at liberty my wool, and my flax,
+which covered her disgrace.
+
+2:10. And now I will lay open her folly in the eyes of her lovers: and
+no man shall deliver her out of my hand:
+
+2:11. And I will cause all her mirth to cease, her solemnities, her new
+moons, her sabbaths, and all her festival times.  2:12. And I will
+destroy her vines, and her fig trees, of which she said: These are my
+rewards, which my lovers have given me: and I will make her as a forest
+and the beasts of the field shall devour her.
+
+2:13. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, to whom she burnt
+incense, and decked herself out with her earrings, and with her jewels,
+and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.
+
+2:14. Therefore, behold I will allure her, and will lead her into the
+wilderness: and I will speak to her heart.
+
+I will allure her, etc... After all her disloyalties, I will still
+allure her by my grace etc., and send her vinedressers, viz., the
+apostles: originally her own children, who shall open to her the gates
+of hope; as heretofore at her coming into the land of promise, she had
+all good success after she had satisfied the divine justice by the
+execution of Achan in the valley of Achor. Jos. 7.
+
+2:15. And I will give her vinedressers out of the same place, and the
+valley of Achor for an opening of hope: and she shall sing there
+according to the days of her youth, and according to the days of her
+coming up out of the land of Egypt.
+
+2:16. And it shall be in that day, saith the Lord: That she shall call
+me: My husband, and she shall call me no more Banli.
+
+My husband... In Hebrew, Ishi. Baali, my lord. The meaning of this verse
+is: that whereas Ishi and Baali were used indifferently in those days by
+wives speaking to their husbands; the synagogue, whom God was pleased to
+consider as his spouse, should call him only Ishi, and abstain from the
+name of Baali, because of its affinity with the idol Baal.
+
+2:17. And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and she
+shall no more remember their name.
+
+Baalim... It is the plural number of Baal: for there were divers idols
+of Baal.
+
+2:18. And in that day I will make a covenant with them, with the beasts
+of the field, and with the fowls of the air, and with the creeping
+things of the earth: and I will destroy the bow, and the sword, and war
+out of the land: and I will make them sleep secure.
+
+2:19. And I will espouse thee to me for ever: and I will espouse thee to
+me in justice, and judgment, and in mercy, and in commiserations.
+
+I will espouse thee, etc... This relates to the happy espousals of
+Christ with his church: which shall never be dissolved.
+
+2:20. And I will espouse thee to me in faith: and thou shalt know that I
+am the Lord.
+
+2:21. 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.
+
+Hear the heavens, etc... All shall conspire in favour of the church,
+which in the following verse is called Jezrahel, that is, the seed of
+God.
+
+2:22. And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and
+these shall hear Jezrahel.
+
+2:23. And I will sow her unto me in the earth, and I will have mercy on
+her that was without mercy.
+
+2:24. And I will say to that which is not my people: Thou art my people:
+and they shall say: Thou art my God.
+
+That which was not my people, etc... This relates to the conversion of
+the Gentiles.
+
+Osee Chapter 3
+
+The prophet is commanded again to love an adulteress; to signify God's
+love to the synagogue. The wretched state of the Jews for a long time,
+till at last they shall be converted.
+
+3:1. And the Lord said to me: Go yet again, and love a woman beloved of
+her friend, and an adulteress: as the Lord loveth the children of
+Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.
+
+3:2. And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core
+of barley, and for half a core of barley.
+
+3:3. And I said to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not
+play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man's, and I also will wait for
+thee.
+
+3:4. For the children of Israel shall sit many days without king, and
+without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without
+ephod, and without theraphim.
+
+Theraphim... Images or representations.
+
+3:5. And after this the children of Israel shall return and shall seek
+the Lord, their God, and David, their king: and they shall fear the
+Lord, and his goodness, in the last days.
+
+David their king... That is, Christ, who is of the house of David.
+
+Osee Chapter 4
+
+God's judgment against the sins of Israel: Juda is warned not to follow
+their example.
+
+4:1. Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord
+shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is
+no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the
+land.
+
+4:2. Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery, have
+overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.
+
+4:3. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it
+shall languish with the heat of the field, and with the fowls of the
+air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together.
+
+4:4. But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for
+thy people are as they that contradict the priest.
+
+Let not any man judge, etc... As if he would say: It is in vain to
+strive with them, or reprove them, they are so obstinate in evil.
+
+4:5. And thou shalt fall today, and the prophet also shall fall with
+thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent.
+
+4:6. My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because
+thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do
+the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy
+God, I also will forget thy children.
+
+4:7. According to the multitude of them, so have they sinned against me:
+I will change their glory into shame.
+
+4:8. They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls
+to their iniquity.
+
+4:9. And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their
+ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.
+
+4:10. And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed
+fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in
+not observing the law.
+
+4:11. Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness, take away the
+understanding.
+
+4:12. My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath
+declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them,
+and they have committed fornication against their God.
+
+4:13. They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt
+incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the
+turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall
+your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be
+adulteresses.
+
+4:14. I will not visit upon your daughters, when they shall commit
+fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery:
+because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with
+the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten.
+
+4:15. If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend:
+and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not
+swear: The Lord liveth.
+
+Galgal and Bethaven... Places where idols were worshipped. Bethel, which
+signifies the house of God, is called by the prophet, Bethaven, that is,
+the house of vanity, from Jeroboam's golden calf that was worshipped
+there.
+
+4:16. For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer now will the Lord
+feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.
+
+4:17. Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.
+
+4:18. Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication:
+they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon
+them.
+
+4:19. The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be
+confounded because of their sacrifices.
+
+Osee Chapter 5
+
+God's threats against the priests, the people, and princes of Israel,
+for their idolatry.
+
+5:1. Hear ye this, O priests, and hearken, O ye house of Israel, and
+give ear, O house of the king: for there is a judgment against you,
+because you have been a snare to them whom you should have watched over
+and a net spread upon Thabor.
+
+O priests... What is said of priests in this prophecy is chiefly
+understood of the priests of the kingdom of Israel; who were not true
+priests of the race of Aaron; but served the calves at Bethel and Dan.
+
+5:2. And you have turned aside victims into the depth and I am the
+teacher of them all.
+
+5:3. I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me for now Ephraim hath
+committed fornication, Israel is defiled.
+
+5:4. They will not set their thoughts to return to their God: for the
+spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known
+the Lord.
+
+5:5. And the pride of Israel shall answer in his face: and Israel, and
+Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity, Juda also shall fall with them.
+
+5:6. With their flocks and with their herds, they shall go to seek the
+Lord, and shall not find him: he is withdrawn from them.
+
+5:7. They have transgressed against the Lord: for they have begotten
+children that are strangers: now shall a month devour them with their
+portions.
+
+Children that are strangers... That is, aliens from God: and therefore
+they are threatened with speedy destruction.
+
+5:8. Blow ye the cornet in Gabaa, the trumpet in Rama: howl ye in
+Bethaven, behind thy back, O Benjamin.
+
+5:9. Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke: among the
+tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.
+
+5:10. The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I
+will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
+
+As they that take up the bound... That is, they that remove the
+boundary, encroaching on the property of their neighbors: figuratively:
+going beyond the boundary of the laws of God.
+
+5:11. Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment: because he
+began to go after filthiness.
+
+5:12. And I will be like a moth to Ephraim: and like rottenness to the
+house of Juda.
+
+5:13. And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Juda his band: and Ephraim went
+to the Assyrian, and sent to the avenging king: and he shall not be able
+to heal you, neither shall he be able to take off the band from you.
+
+5:14. For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion's whelp
+to the house of Juda: I, I will catch, and go: I will take away, and
+there is none that can rescue.
+
+5:15. I will go and return to my place: until you are consumed, and seek
+my face.
+
+Osee Chapter 6
+
+Affliction shall be a means to bring many to Christ, a complaint of the
+untowardness of the Jews. God loves mercy more than sacrifice.
+
+6:1. In their affliction they will rise early to me: Come, and let us
+return to the Lord.
+
+6:2. For he hath taken us, and he will heal us: he will strike, and he
+will cure us.
+
+6:3. He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us
+up, and we shall live in his sight.  We shall know, and we shall follow
+on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the
+morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain
+to the earth.
+
+6:4. What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O
+Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away
+in the morning.
+
+6:5. For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain
+them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the
+light.
+
+6:6. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God
+more than holocausts.
+
+6:7. But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have
+they dealt treacherously against me.
+
+6:8. Galaad is a city of workers of idols, supplanted with blood.
+
+Supplanted with blood... that is, undermined and brought to ruin, for
+shedding of blood: and, as it is signified in the following verse, for
+conspiring with the priests (of Bethel) like robbers, to murder in the
+way such as passed out of Sichem to go towards the temple of Jerusalem.
+Or else ...supplanted with blood... signifies flowing in such manner
+with blood, as to suffer none to walk there without imbruing the soles
+of their feet in blood.
+
+6:9. And like the jaws of highway robbers, they conspire with the
+priests who murder in the way those that pass out of Sichem: for they
+have wrought wickedness.
+
+6:10. I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the
+fornications of Ephraim there: Israel is defiled.
+
+6:11. And thou also, O Juda, set thee a harvest, when I shall bring back
+the captivity of my people.
+
+Osee Chapter 7
+
+The manifold sins of Israel, and of their kings, hinder the Lord from
+healing them.
+
+7:1. When I would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was
+discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed
+falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.
+
+7:2. And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their
+wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been
+done before my face.
+
+7:3. They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes
+with their lies.
+
+Made the king glad, etc... To please Jeroboam, and their other kings
+they have given themselves up to the wicked worship of idols, which are
+mere falsehood and lies.
+
+7:4. They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker: the city
+rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was
+leavened.
+
+7:5. The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he
+stretched out his hand with scorners.
+
+7:6. Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid
+snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he
+himself was heated as a flaming fire.
+
+7:7. They were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges:
+all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth
+unto me.
+
+7:8. Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as
+bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.
+
+7:9. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey
+hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.
+
+7:10. And the pride of Israel shall be humbled before his face: and they
+have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all
+these.
+
+7:11. And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a
+heart: they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
+
+7:12. And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will
+bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their
+congregation hath heard.
+
+7:13. Woe to them, for they have departed from me: they shall be wasted
+because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them: and they
+have spoken lies against me.
+
+7:14. And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in
+their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed
+from me.
+
+7:15. And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they
+have imagined evil against me.
+
+7:16. They returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a
+deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of
+their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
+
+Osee Chapter 8
+
+The Israelites are threatened with destruction for their impiety and
+idolatry.
+
+8:1. Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house
+of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have
+violated my law.
+
+8:2. They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.
+
+8:3. lsrael hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue
+him.
+
+8:4. They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I
+knew not: of their silver and their gold they have made idols to
+themselves, that they might perish.
+
+8:5. Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them.
+How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
+
+8:6. For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and
+it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders' webs.
+
+8:7. For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing
+stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield,
+strangers shall eat it.
+
+8:8. Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an
+unclean vessel.
+
+8:9. For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself:
+Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.
+
+8:10. But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I
+gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the
+king, and the princes.
+
+8:11. Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to
+him unto sin.
+
+8:12. I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted
+as foreign.
+
+8:13. They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall
+eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their
+iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
+
+8:14. And Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and
+Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his
+cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
+
+Osee Chapter 9
+
+The distress and captivity of Israel for their sins and idolatry.
+
+9:1. Rejoice not, O Israel: rejoice not as the nations do: for thou hast
+committed fornication against thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon
+every cornfloor.
+
+9:2. The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the wine shall
+deceive them.
+
+9:3. They shall not dwell in the Lord's land: Ephraim is returned to
+Egypt, and hath eaten unclean things among the Assyrians.
+
+9:4. They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall they please
+him: their sacrifices shall be like the bread of mourners: all that
+shall eat it shall be defiled: for their bread is life for their soul,
+it shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
+
+9:5. What will you do in the solemn day, in the day of the feast of the
+Lord?
+
+9:6. For behold they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather
+them together, Memphis shall bury them: nettles shall inherit their
+beloved silver, the bur shall be in their tabernacles.
+
+9:7. The days of visitation are come, the days of repaying are come:
+know ye, O Israel, that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was
+mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the multitude of thy
+madness.
+
+9:8. The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: the prophet is become a
+snare of ruin upon all his ways, madness is in the house of his God.
+
+9:9. They have sinned deeply, as in the days of Gabaa: he will remember
+their iniquity, and will visit their sin.
+
+9:10. I found Israel like grapes in the desert, I saw their fathers like
+the firstfruits of the fig tree in the top thereof: but they went in to
+Beelphegor, and alienated themselves to that confusion, and became
+abominable, as those things were, which they loved.
+
+9:11. As for Ephraim, their glory hath flown away like bird from the
+birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
+
+9:12. And though they should bring up their children, I will make them
+without children among men: yea, and woe to them, when I shall depart
+from them.
+
+9:13. Ephraim, as I saw, was a Tyre, founded in beauty: and Ephraim
+shall bring out his children to the murderer.
+
+9:14. Give them, O Lord. What wilt thou give them?  Give them a womb
+without children, and dry breasts.
+
+9:15. All their wickedness is in Galgal, for there I hated them: for the
+wickedness of their devices I will cast them forth out of my house: I
+will love them no more, all their princes are revolters.
+
+9:16. Ephraim is struck, their root is dried up, they shall yield no
+fruit. And if they should have issue, I will slay the best beloved fruit
+of their womb.
+
+9:17. My God will cast them away, because they hearkened not to him: and
+they shall be wanderers among the nations.
+
+Osee Chapter 10
+
+After many benefits, great affliction shall fall upon the ten tribes,
+for their ingratitude to God.
+
+10:1. Israel a vine full of branches, the fruit is agreeable to it:
+according to the multitude of his fruit, he hath multiplied altars,
+according to the plenty of his land he hath abounded with idols.
+
+10:2. Their heart is divided: now they shall perish: he shall break down
+their idols, he shall destroy their altars.
+
+10:3. For now they shall say: We have no king: because we fear not the
+Lord: and what shall a king do to us?
+
+10:4. You speak words of an unprofitable vision, and you shall make a
+covenant: and judgment shall spring up as bitterness in the furrows of
+the field.
+
+10:5. The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the kine of Bethaven:
+for the people thereof have mourned over it, and the wardens of its
+temple that rejoiced over it in its glory because it is departed from
+it.
+
+The kine of Bethaven... The golden calves of Jeroboam.
+
+10:6. For itself also is carried into Assyria, a present to the avenging
+king: shame shall fall upon Ephraim, and Israel shall be confounded in
+his own will.
+
+Itself also is carried, etc... One of the golden calves was given by
+king Manahem, to Phul, king of the Assyrians, to engage him to stand by
+him.
+
+10:7. Samaria hath made her king to pass as froth upon the face of the
+water.
+
+10:8. And the high places of the idol, the sin of Israel shall be
+destroyed: the bur and the thistle shall grow up over their altars: and
+they shall say to the mountains Cover us; and to the hills: Fall upon
+us.
+
+10:9. From the days of Gabaa, Israel hath sinned, there they stood: the
+battle in Gabaa against the children of iniquity shall not overtake
+them.
+
+10:10. According to my desire, I will chastise them: and the nations
+shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised
+for their two iniquities.
+
+Their two iniquities... Their two calves.
+
+10:11. Ephraim is a heifer taught to love to tread out corn, but I
+passed over upon the beauty of her neck: I will ride upon Ephraim, Juda
+shall plough, Jacob shall break the furrows for himself.
+
+10:12. Sow for yourselves in justice, and reap in the mouth of mercy,
+break up your fallow ground: but the time to seek the Lord is, when he
+shall come that shall teach you justice.
+
+10:13. You have ploughed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity, you have
+eaten the fruit of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy ways, in the
+multitude of thy strong ones.
+
+10:14. A tumult shall arise among thy people: and all thy fortresses
+shall be destroyed as Salmana was destroyed, by the house of him that
+judged Baal in the day of battle, the mother being dashed in pieces upon
+her children.
+
+As Salmana, king of the Midianites, was destroyed by the house, that is,
+by the followers of him that judged Baal; that is, of Gideon, who threw
+down the altar of Baal; and was therefore called Jerubaal. See Judges 6
+and 8.
+
+10:15. So hath Bethel done to you, because of the evil of your
+iniquities.
+
+Osee Chapter 11
+
+God proceeds in threatening Israel for their ingratitude: yet he will
+not utterly destroy them.
+
+11:1. As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel passed away.
+Because Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of
+Egypt.
+
+I called my son... Viz., Israel. But as the calling of Israel out of
+Egypt, was a figure of the calling of Christ from thence; therefore this
+text is also applicable to Christ, as we learn from Matthew 2.15.
+
+11:2. As they called them, they went away from before their face: they
+offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.
+
+They called... Viz., Moses and Aaron called; but they went away after
+other gods and would not hear.
+
+11:3. And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my
+arms: and they knew not that I healed them.
+
+11:4. I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love:
+and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and
+I put his meat to him that he might eat.
+
+11:5. He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall
+be his king: because they would not be converted.
+
+11:6. The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his
+chosen men, and shall devour their heads.
+
+11:7. And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put
+upon them together, which shall not be taken off.
+
+11:8. How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O
+Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my
+heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up.
+
+Adama, etc... Adama and Seboim were two cities in the neighborhood of
+Sodom: and underwent the like destruction.
+
+11:9. I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return
+to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the
+midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.
+
+11:10. They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because
+he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.
+
+11:11. And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove
+out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own
+houses, saith the Lord.
+
+11:12. Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of
+Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is
+faithful with the saints.
+
+Osee Chapter 12
+
+Israel is reproved for sin. God's favours to them.
+
+12:1. Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all
+the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a
+covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.
+
+12:2. Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a
+visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and
+according to his devices.
+
+12:3. In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had
+success with an angel.
+
+12:4. And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept,
+and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke
+with us.
+
+12:5. Even the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
+
+12:6. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and hope
+in thy God always.
+
+12:7. He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he
+hath loved oppression.
+
+12:8. And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an
+idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have
+committed.
+
+12:9. And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet
+cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.
+
+12:10. And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions,
+and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
+
+12:11. If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering
+sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the
+furrows of the field.
+
+If Galaad be an idol, etc... That is, if Galaad with all its idols and
+sacrifices be like a mere idol itself, being brought to nothing by
+Theglathphalasar: how vain is it to expect, that the idols worshipped in
+Galgal shall be of any service to the tribes that remain.
+
+12:12. Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a
+wife, and was a keeper for a wife.
+
+12:13. But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was
+preserved by a prophet.
+
+12:14. Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his
+blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto
+him.
+
+Osee Chapter 13
+
+The judgments of God upon Israel for their sins. Christ shall one day
+redeem them.
+
+13:1. When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal,
+and died.
+
+13:2. And now they have sinned more and more: and they have made to
+themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the
+whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye
+that adore calves.
+
+13:3. Therefore they shall be as a morning cloud, and as the early dew
+that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of
+the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
+
+13:4. But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt
+know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.
+
+13:5. I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.
+
+13:6. According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full:
+and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.
+
+13:7. And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the
+Assyrians.
+
+13:8. I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I
+will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there
+as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.
+
+13:9. Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me.
+
+13:10. Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy
+cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings and princes.
+
+13:11. I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my
+indignation.
+
+13:12. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden.
+
+13:13. The sorrows of a woman in labour shall come upon him, he is an
+unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.
+
+13:14. I will deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them
+from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite:
+comfort is hidden from my eyes.
+
+13:15. Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord
+will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall
+dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall
+carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.
+
+Osee Chapter 14
+
+Samaria shall be destroyed. An exhortation to repentance: God's favour
+through Christ to the penitent.
+
+14:1. Let Samaria perish, becsuse she hath stirred up her God to
+bitterness: let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be
+dashed, and let the women with child be ripped up.
+
+Perish, because she hath stirred up her God to bitterness... It is not a
+curse or imprecation, but a prophecy of what should come to pass.
+
+14:2. Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen down
+by thy iniquity.
+
+14:3. Take with you words, and return to the Lord, and say to him: Take
+away all iniquity, and receive the good: and we will render the calves
+of our lips.
+
+14:4. Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses, neither
+will we say any more: The works of our hands are our gods: for thou wilt
+have mercy on the fatherless that is in thee.
+
+14:5. I will heal their breaches, I will love them freely: for my wrath
+is turned away from them.
+
+14:6. I will be as the dew, Israel shall spring as the lily, and his
+root shall shoot forth as that of Libanus.
+
+14:7. His branches shall spread, and his glory shall be as the olive
+tree: and his smell as that of Libanus.
+
+14:8. They shall be converted that sit under his shadow: they shall live
+upon wheat, and they shall blossom as a vine: his memorial shall be as
+the wine of Libanus.
+
+14:9. Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I will
+hear him, and I will make him flourish like a green fir tree: from me is
+thy fruit found.
+
+14:10. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and
+he shall know these things? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the
+just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.

+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.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
