  • S2E72 Hosea 7:1-16
    May 8 2025

    Hosea 7:1-161 And the injustice of Ephraim will be uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, because they worked falsely. And a thief will enter toward him, a robber stripping him on his way, 2 in order that they may sing together as singing in their heart. All their wickedness I remembered. Now their counsels have encircled them; they have come opposite my face. 3 By their wicked acts they cheered kings, and rulers with their lies. 4 All are committing adultery, like an oven being lit for the cooking of the burning from the flame from mixing of dough until it is leavened. 5 As for the days of your kings —the rulers began to be angry from wine; he stretched out his hand with plagues. 6 Because their hearts were lit up like an oven when they broke in pieces. Ephraim was sated the whole night of sleep. In the morning they were born, he was lit up like a light of fire. 7 All were warm like an oven, and they ate their judges. All their kings fell. There was not one among them who was calling to me. 8 Ephraim was mingling with his peoples. Ephraim was a cake baked in the ashes that was not turned over. 9 Foreigners ate his strength, but he has not learned. And gray hairs flourished for him, and he did not know it. 10 And the pride of Israel will be made low to his face, yet they did not return to the Lord, their God, and they did not seek him in all these things. 11 And Ephraim was like a silly pigeon, not having a heart. Egypt used to be called upon, and they went to Assyria. 12 Whenever they go, I will throw my net upon them. As the birds of the heavens I will bring them down; I will rear them in the sound of their affliction. 13 Woe to them, because they have turned away from me. They are wretched, because they have acted impiously toward me. But I ransomed them, but they have spoken lies against me. 14 And their hearts did not cry to me; rather, they howled in their beds. They used to gash themselves for corn and wine. 15 They were taught by me, and I strengthened their arms, and they devised evils against me. 16 They turned back to nothing. They became like a bent bow. Their rulers will fall by the sword on account of a lack of control over their tongue. This will be the contempt of them in the land of Egypt.”

    May 6 2025

    Hosea 6:1-11A Confession of Trust6 “In their affliction they will rise up early toward me, saying, ‘Let us go and return to the Lord, our God, because he has snatched away, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will bandage us. 2 He will restore us to health after two days; on the third day we will rise and live before him, 3 and we will know; we will seek to know the Lord. Like the sure-to-come dawn we will find him, and he will come to us like the early and late rain comes to the earth.’ ” Israel’s Transgressions4 “What will I do with you, O Ephraim? What will I do with you, O Judah? Your mercy is like an early morning cloud, and like an early dew that is going away. 5 On account of this, I cut off your prophets; I killed them with a word from my mouth, and my judgment will go out like light. 6 Because I want mercy rather than sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings. 7 But they are like a person breaking a treaty; there he despised me. 8 Gilead is a city doing vain things, stirring up water. 9 And your strength is that of a pirate man. Priests hid the way. They killed Shechem, because they did lawlessness. 10 In the house of Israel I saw a horrible thing. There was the fornication of Ephraim; Israel and Judah were defiled. 11 Begin to reap for yourself when I return the captives of my people, when I heal Israel.
