Hosea - Chapter: 2


2:1	`Say ye to your brethren -- Ammi, And to your sisters -- Ruhamah.
2:2	Plead ye with your mother -- plead, (For she `is' not My wife, and I `am' not her husband,) And she turneth her whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between her breasts,
2:3	Lest I strip her naked. And have set her up as `in' the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst.
2:4	And her sons I do not pity, For sons of whoredoms `are' they,
2:5	For gone a-whoring hath their mother, Acted shamefully hath their conceiver, For she hath said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
2:6	Therefore, lo, I am hedging up thy way with thorns, And I have made for her a wall, And her paths she doth not find.
2:7	And she hath pursued her lovers, And she doth not overtake them, And hath sought them, and doth not find, And she hath said: I go, and I turn back unto My first husband, For -- better to me then than now.
2:8	And she knew not that I had given to her, The corn, and the new wine, and the oil. Yea, silver I did multiply to her, And the gold they prepared for Baal.
2:9	Therefore do I turn back, And I have taken My corn in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.
2:10	And now do I reveal her dishonour before the eyes of her lovers, And none doth deliver her out of My hand.
2:11	And I have caused to cease all her joy, Her festival, her new moon, and her sabbath, Even all her appointed times,
2:12	And made desolate her vine and her fig-tree, Of which she said, A gift they `are' to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And consumed them hath a beast of the field.
2:13	And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament, And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
2:14	Therefore, lo, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken unto her heart,
2:15	And given to her her vineyards from thence, And the valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she hath responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
2:16	And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, Thou dost call Me -- My husband, And dost not call Me any more -- My lord.
2:17	And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their name.
2:18	And I have made to them a covenant in that day, with the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.
2:19	And I have betrothed thee to Me to the age, And betrothed thee to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and mercies,
2:20	And betrothed thee to Me in faithfulness, And thou hast known Jehovah.
2:21	And it hath come to pass in that day, I answer -- an affirmation of Jehovah, I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth.
2:22	And the earth doth answer the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.
2:23	And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, My people thou `art', and it saith, My God!'

2:1	Tell youre brethren, that they are my people: and youre sisteren, that they haue optayned mercy.
2:2	As for youre mother, ye shal chyde with her, and reproue her: for she is not my wife, nether am I hir hu?bode: vnlesse she put awaye hir whordome out of my sight, and hir aduoutry from hir brestes.
2:3	Yf no, I shal strype her naked, & set her, euen as she came in to ye worlde: Yee I shal laye hir waist, and make her like a wildernesse, and slaye her for thyrste.
2:4	I shal haue no pite also vpon hir children, for they be the children of fornicacion.
2:5	Their mother hath broken hir wedlocke, and she that bare them, is come to cofucion. For she sayde: I wil go after my louers, that geue me my water and my bred, my woll & my flax, my oyle and my drynke.
2:6	But I will hedge hir waye with thornes, and stoppe it, that she shal not fynde hir fotestoppes:
2:7	and though she runne after hir louers, yet shall she not get them: she shal seke them, but not fynde them. Then shal she saye: well, I will go turne agayne to my first hu?bonde, for at yt tyme was I better at ease, then now:
2:8	But this wolde she not knowe, where as I yet gaue her corne, wyne, oyle, syluer and golde, which she hath hanged vpon Baal.
2:9	Wherfore now will I go take my corne & wyne agayne in their season, and fet agayne my woll and my flax, which I gaue her, to couer hir shame.
2:10	And now will I dyscouer hir foolishnesse, euen in the sight of hir louers, and no man shal delyuer her out of my hondes.
2:11	Morouer, I wil take awaye all hir myrth, hir holy dayes, hir newmoones, hir Sabbathes and all hir solempne feastes:
2:12	I will destroye hir vynyardes and fyge trees, though she saieth: lo, here are my rewardes, that my louers haue geuen me. I wil make it a wodde, and the wylde beestes shall eate it vp:
2:13	I will punysh her also for the dayes of Baal, wherin she censed him, deckynge him with hir earynges and cheynes: when she folowed hir louers, and forgat me, saieth the LORDE.
2:14	Wherfore beholde, I wil call her againe, bringe her in to a wildernes, and speake frendly vnto her:
2:15	there wil I geue her hir vynyardes agayne, yee and the valley of Achor also, to shewe hir hope & comforte. Then shal she synge there as in the tyme of hir youth, & like as in the daye when she came out of the londe of Egipte.
2:16	Then (saieth the LORDE) she shal saye vnto me: O my hou?bande, & shal call me nomore Baal:
2:17	for I wil take awaye those names of Baal from hir mouth, yee she shal neuer remembre their names eny more.
2:18	Then will I make a couenaunt with them, with the wylde beastes, with the foules of the ayre, & with euerythinge that crepeth vpon the earth. As for bowe, swerde and batel, I will destroye soch out of the londe, & wil make them to slepe safely.
2:19	Thus wil I mary the vnto myne owne self for euermore: yee euen to my self wil I mary the, in rightuousnesse, in equyte, in louynge kyndnesse and mercy.
2:20	In faith also will I mary the vnto my self, & thou shalt knowe the LORDE.
2:21	At the same tyme wil I shewe my self frendly and gracious vnto ye heauens, saieth the LORDE: & the heauens shal helpe the earth,
2:22	and the earth shal helpe the corne, wyne and oyle, and they shal helpe Iesrael.
2:23	I wil sowe them vpo earth, for a sede to myne owne self, & wil haue mercy vpon her, yt was without mercy. And to the which were not my people, I wil saye: thou art my people. And he shal saye: thou art my God.
