Hos Hosea, chapter Book of Hosea, chapter 13
When Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. 1Ki 14:10; 1Ki 16:31; 2Ki 9:7And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. 2Ki 17:17; 2Ch 28:3Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passeth early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.Job 21:18; Psa 1:4
Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt know no god but me, and besides me there is no saviour. Exo 20:2; Deu 5:6; Hos 12:9; Psa 3:8I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. Deu 8:15According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me. Deu 8:11; Deu 31:20Therefore am I unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way; Lam 3:10; Hos 5:14I 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 lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.
It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against me, against thy help. Isa 3:9; Jer 2:11Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? 1Sa 8:5I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath. Job 34:30; Act 13:21The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store. Job 14:17; Jer 17:1The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children. Gen 35:18I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from death: O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy destruction? repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.Psa 16:10; Psa 56:13; Act 10:42; 1Co 15:55; Heb 2:14
Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels. Ezk 19:12; Hos 4:19Samaria shall bear her guilt; 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.Hos 5:9; Hos 11:6
