Bible Reading for July 05

Hosea 11
[1] When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
[2] As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim,
and burned incense to graven images. [3] I taught Ephraim also to go, taking
them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
[4] I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as
they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. [5] He
shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king,
because they refused to return. [6] And the sword shall abide on his cities,
and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
[7] And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to
the most High, none at all would exalt him. [8] How shall I give thee up,
Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how
shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are
kindled together. [9] I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will
not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the
midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. [10] They shall walk after
the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children
shall tremble from the west. [11] They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt,
and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their
houses, saith the LORD. [12] Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the
house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful
with the saints.

Hosea 12
[1] Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily
increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians,
and oil is carried into Egypt. [2] The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah,
and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he
recompense him. [3] He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his
strength he had power with God:
[4] Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made
supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; [5]
Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. [6] Therefore turn thou
to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
[7] He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to
oppress.
[8] And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in
all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. [9] And I
that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in
tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast. [10] I have also spoken by the
prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry
of the prophets. [11] Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they
sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of
the fields.
[12] And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife,
and for a wife he kept sheep.
[13] And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet
was he preserved.
[14] Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his
blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.

Hosea 13
[1] When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he
offended in Baal, he died.
[2] And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their
silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of
the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
[3] Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that
passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor,
and as the smoke out of the chimney. [4] Yet I am the LORD thy God from the
land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour
beside me. [5] I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
[6] According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and
their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. [7] Therefore I will
be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
[8] I 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 lion: the wild
beast shall tear them.
[9] O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. [10] I will
be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy
judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? [11] I gave thee a king
in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. [12] The iniquity of Ephraim is
bound up; his sin is hid. [13] The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come
upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the
breaking forth of children.
[14] I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from
death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction:
repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. [15] Though he be fruitful among his
brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the
wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried
up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
[16] Samaria shall become desolate; 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.

Hosea 14
[1] O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine
iniquity.
[2] Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all
iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
[3] Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say
any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless
findeth mercy.
[4] I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is
turned away from him.
[5] I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth
his roots as Lebanon.
[6] His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and
his smell as Lebanon.
[7] They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the
corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
[8] Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him,
and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
[9] Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall
know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them:
but the transgressors shall fall therein.
