00:15 Hello and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today
00:19 we'll be reading together from the book of Hosea.
00:22 But lets pray before we start.
00:25 Dear heavenly father,
00:27 we want to come part now and be still
00:29 and know the you are the God of universe
00:33 and the God of our lives,
00:35 please send your holy Spirit to be with us now as we read,
00:39 in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
00:42 Reading from the book of Hosea,
00:43 chapter 8 and beginning with verse 13
00:47 and this is the King James Version.
00:51 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices
00:54 of mine offerings, and eat it,
00:56 but the Lord accepteth them not,
00:59 now will he remember their iniquity,
01:01 and visit their sins.
01:03 they shall return to Egypt.
01:05 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker,
01:09 and buildeth temples,
01:11 and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities.
01:14 But I will send a fire upon his cities,
01:17 and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
01:22 Continuing with Hosea, Chapter 9.
01:25 Rejoice not, O Israel,
01:27 for joy, as other people,
01:30 for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God,
01:33 thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
01:37 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them,
01:40 and the new wine shall fail in her.
01:43 They shall not dwell in the Lord's land,
01:45 but Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
01:47 and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
01:50 They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord,
01:52 neither shall they be pleasing unto him,
01:55 their sacrifices shall be unto them
01:57 as the bread of mourners;
02:00 all that eat thereof shall be polluted,
02:03 for their bread for their soul
02:05 shall not come into the house of the Lord.
02:08 What will ye do in the solemn day,
02:10 and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
02:13 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction.
02:17 Egypt shall gather them up,
02:18 Memphis shall bury them,
02:20 the pleasant places for their silver,
02:22 nettles shall possess them,
02:25 thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
02:28 The days of visitation are come,
02:30 the days of recompence are come.
02:32 Israel shall know it.
02:34 The prophet is a fool,
02:36 the spiritual man is mad,
02:38 for the multitude of thine iniquity,
02:39 and the great hatred.
02:41 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God.
02:45 But the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways,
02:48 and hatred in the house of his God.
02:50 They have deeply corrupted themselves,
02:53 as in the days of Gibeah.
02:55 Therefore he will remember their iniquity,
02:57 he will visit their sins.
03:00 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness,
03:03 I saw your fathers as the firstripe
03:05 in the fig tree at her first time.
03:08 But they went to Baalpeor,
03:10 and separated themselves unto that shame,
03:13 and their abominations were according as they loved.
03:16 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird,
03:19 from the birth, and from the womb,
03:21 and from the conception.
03:23 Though they bring up their children,
03:24 yet will I bereave them,
03:26 and there shall not be a man left.
03:28 Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them.
03:33 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus,
03:36 is planted in a pleasant place.
03:38 But Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
03:43 Give them, O Lord.
03:44 What wilt thou give?
03:46 give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
03:50 All their wickedness is in Gilgal,
03:53 for there I hated them,
03:55 for the wickedness of their doings
03:56 I will drive them out of mine house,
03:58 I will love them no more,
04:00 all their princes are revolters.
04:03 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up,
04:06 they shall bear no fruit.
04:09 Yea, though they bring forth,
04:10 yet will I slay even the beloved
04:12 fruit of their womb.
04:14 My God will cast them away,
04:15 Because they did not hearken unto him.
04:18 And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
04:22 Continuing with Hosea, Chapter 10,
04:25 this is the King James Version.
04:28 Israel is an empty vine,
04:30 he bringeth forth fruit unto himself,
04:33 according to the multitude of his fruit
04:34 he hath increased the altars,
04:36 according to the goodness of his land
04:38 they have made goodly images.
04:41 Their heart is divided,
04:43 now shall they be found faulty.
04:46 He shall break down their altars,
04:48 he shall spoil their images.
04:51 For now they shall say, we have no king,
04:54 because we feared not the Lord.
04:56 What then should a king do to us?
04:59 They have spoken words,
05:00 swearing falsely in making a covenant.
05:04 Thus judgment springeth up
05:06 as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
05:10 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear
05:12 because of the calves of Bethaven,
05:14 for the people thereof shall mourn over it,
05:18 and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it,
05:20 for the glory thereof,
05:21 because it is departed from it.
05:24 It shall be also carried unto Assyria
05:26 for a present to king Jareb.
05:29 Ephraim shall receive shame,
05:30 and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
05:33 As for Samaria, her king is cut off
05:36 as the foam upon the water.
05:38 The high places also of Aven,
05:40 the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed.
05:43 The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars,
05:46 and they shall say to the mountains,
05:48 cover us, and to the hills, fall on us.
05:52 O Israel, thou hast sinned
05:54 from the days of Gibeah, there they stood.
05:58 The battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity
06:01 did not overtake them.
06:03 It is in my desire that I should chastise them,
06:06 and the people shall be gathered against them,
06:08 when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
06:12 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught,
06:14 and loveth to tread out the corn,
06:17 but I passed over upon her fair neck.
06:20 I will make Ephraim to ride,
06:21 Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
06:26 Sow to yourselves in righteousness,
06:29 reap in mercy, break up your fallow ground.
06:33 For it is time to seek the Lord,
06:36 till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
06:38 Ye have plowed wickedness,
06:40 ye have reaped iniquity,
06:42 ye have eaten the fruit of lies,
06:44 because thou didst trust in thy way,
06:48 in the multitude of thy mighty men.
06:51 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people,
06:55 and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled,
06:57 as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle,
07:00 the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
07:03 So shall Bethel do unto you
07:06 because of your great wickedness,
07:08 in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
07:14 Continuing in Hosea, Chapter 11.
07:17 When Israel was a child,
07:19 then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
07:24 As they called them, so they went from them.
07:27 They sacrificed unto Baalim,
07:30 and burned incense to graven images.
07:33 I taught Ephraim also to go,
07:35 taking them by their arms,
07:36 but they knew not that I healed them.
07:40 I drew them with cords of a man,
07:42 with bands of love.
07:44 And I was to them as they that take off
07:46 the yoke on their jaws,
07:48 and I laid meat unto them.
07:50 He shall not return into the land of Egypt,
07:52 and the Assyrian shall be his king,
07:55 because they refused to return.
07:58 And the sword shall abide on his cities,
08:00 and shall consume his branches,
08:02 and devour them, because of their own counsels.
08:06 And my people are bent to backsliding from me,
08:10 though they called them to the most High,
08:12 none at all would exalt him.
08:15 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
08:17 How shall I deliver thee, Israel?
08:19 How shall I make thee as Admah?
08:22 How shall I set thee as Zeboim?
08:25 Mine heart is turned within me,
08:27 my repentings are kindled together.
08:30 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger,
08:34 I will not return to destroy Ephraim,
08:37 for I am God, and not man.
08:41 The Holy One in the midst of thee,
08:43 and I will not enter into the city.
08:46 They shall walk after the Lord.
08:48 He shall roar like a lion.
08:50 When he shall roar, then the children
08:51 shall tremble from the west.
08:53 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt,
08:54 and as a dove out of the land of Assyria.
08:57 And I will place them in their houses,
08:59 saith the Lord.
09:01 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies,
09:05 and the house of Israel with deceit.
09:07 But Judah yet ruleth with God,
09:10 and is faithful with the saints.
09:13 Continuing in Hosea, Chapter 12
09:15 and this is the King James Version.
09:18 Ephraim feedeth on wind,
09:20 and followeth after the east wind.
09:23 He daily increaseth lies and desolation,
09:26 and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians,
09:28 and oil is carried into Egypt.
09:31 The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah,
09:34 and will punish Jacob according to his ways,
09:36 according to his doings will he recompense him.
09:39 He took his brother by the heel in the womb,
09:41 and by his strength he had power with God.
09:44 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed.
09:46 He wept, and made supplication unto him.
09:49 He found him in Bethel,
09:51 and there he spake with us.
09:53 Even the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
09:58 Therefore turn thou to thy God.
10:01 Keep mercy and judgment
10:04 and wait on thy God continually.
10:09 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand.
10:13 He loveth to oppress.
10:14 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich,
10:17 I have found me out substance, in all my labours
10:20 they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
10:24 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt
10:28 will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles,
10:31 as in the days of the solemn feast.
10:34 I have also spoken by the prophets,
10:36 and I have multiplied visions,
10:38 and used similitudes,
10:39 by the ministry of the prophets.
10:42 Is there iniquity in Gilead?
10:44 Surely they are vanity.
10:46 They sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal.
10:49 Yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
10:53 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria,
10:56 and Israel served for a wife,
10:57 and for a wife he kept sheep.
11:00 And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt,
11:03 and by a prophet was he preserved.
11:06 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly.
11:10 Therefore shall he leave his blood upon him,
11:13 and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
11:18 Continuing in Hosea, Chapter 13
11:21 and this is the King James Version.
11:24 When Ephraim spake trembling,
11:27 he exalted himself in Israel.
11:30 But when he offended in Baal, he died.
11:34 And now they sin more and more,
11:35 and have made them molten images of their silver,
11:38 and idols according to their own understanding,
11:41 all of it the work of the craftsmen.
11:43 They say of them,
11:45 let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
11:48 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud
11:51 and as the early dew that passeth away,
11:54 as the chaff that is driven
11:56 with the whirlwind out of the floor,
11:57 and as the smoke out of the chimney.
12:00 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt,
12:05 and thou shalt know no god but me,
12:09 for there is no savior beside me.
12:13 I did know thee in the wilderness,
12:15 in the land of great drought.
12:17 According to their pasture,
12:19 so were they filled, they were filled,
12:20 and their heart was exalted,
12:22 therefore have they forgotten me.
12:25 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion.
12:28 As a leopard by the way will I observe them.
12:32 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps,
12:36 and will rend the caul of their heart,
12:38 and there will I devour them like a lion.
12:42 The wild beast shall tear them.
12:44 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself.
12:50 But in me is thine help.
12:53 I will be thy king.
12:55 Where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities?
12:59 And thy judges of whom thou saidst.
13:01 Give me a king and princes?
13:03 I gave thee a king in mine anger,
13:05 and took him away in my wrath.
13:06 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hid.
13:12 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him.
13:16 He is an unwise son, for he should not stay long
13:20 in the place of the breaking forth of children.
13:23 I will ransom them from the power of the grave.
13:26 I will redeem them from death.
13:28 O death, I will be thy plagues.
13:31 O grave, I will be thy destruction.
13:34 Repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
13:37 Though he be fruitful among his brethren,
13:39 an east wind shall come,
13:41 the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness,
13:44 and his spring shall become dry,
13:46 and his fountain shall be dried up.
13:49 He shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
13:53 Samaria shall become desolate,
13:55 for she hath rebelled against her God.
13:58 They shall fall by the sword,
14:00 their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
14:02 and their women with child shall be ripped up.
14:05 Continuing with Hosea, Chapter 14.
14:09 O israel, return unto the Lord thy God,
14:14 for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
14:16 Take with you words,
14:18 and turn to the Lord, say unto him,
14:21 Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously.
14:25 So will we render the calves of our lips.
14:28 Asshur shall not save us.
14:30 We will not ride upon horses.
14:32 Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands,
14:35 ye are our gods.
14:37 For in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
