Hos Hosea, chapter Book of Hosea, chapter 13
“When Ephraim speaks tremblingly, || He has been lifted up in Israel, || When he becomes guilty in Ba‘al he dies. 1Ki 14:10; 1Ki 16:31; 2Ki 9:7And now they sin, || And make for themselves a molten image of their silver, || By their own understanding—idols, || A work of artisans—all of it, || Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, The calves let them kiss. 2Ki 17:17; 2Ch 28:3Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, || And as dew, rising early, going away, || As chaff tossed about out of a floor, || And as smoke out of a window. Job 21:18; Psa 1:4And I [am] your God YHWH from the land of Egypt, || And you do not know a God besides Me, || And a Savior—there is none except Me. Exo 20:2; Deu 5:6; Hos 12:9; Psa 3:8I have known you in a wilderness, || In a land of droughts. Deu 8:15They are satiated according to their feedings, || They have been satiated, || And their heart is lifted up, || Therefore they have forgotten Me, Deu 8:11; Deu 31:20And I am to them as a lion, || I look out as a leopard by the way. Lam 3:10; Hos 5:14I meet them as a bereaved bear, || And I tear the enclosure of their heart, || And I consume them there as a lioness, || A beast of the field tears them. You have destroyed yourself, O Israel, || But in Me [is] your help; Isa 3:9; Jer 2:11Where [is] your king now—And he saves you in all your cities? And your judges of whom you said, || Give a king and heads to me? 1Sa 8:5I give to you a king in My anger, || And I take away in My wrath. Job 34:30; Act 13:21Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, || Hidden [is] his sin, Job 14:17; Jer 17:1Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, || He [is] not a wise son, || For he does not remain [at] the time for the breaking forth of sons. Gen 35:18Will I ransom them from the hand of Sheol? Will I redeem them from death? Where [is] your plague, O death? Where your destruction, O Sheol? Comfort is hid from My eyes. Psa 16:10; Psa 56:13; Act 10:42; 1Co 15:55; Heb 2:14Though he produces fruit among brothers, || An east wind comes in, a wind of YHWH, || From a wilderness it is coming up, || And it dries up his fountain, || And his spring becomes dry, || It—it spoils a treasure—every desirable vessel. Ezk 19:12; Hos 4:19Samaria becomes desolate, || Because she has been rebellious against her God, || They fall by sword, || Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, || And its pregnant ones are ripped up!”Hos 5:9; Hos 11:6
