Hosea 13章 ESV | 微读圣经

The Lord’s Relentless Judgment on Israel

1When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;

13:1 [Amos 6:13] he was exalted in Israel,

but he incurred guilt 13:1 See ch. 11:2through Baal and died.

2And now they sin more and more,

and 13:2 ch. 2:8make for themselves metal images,

idols skillfully made of their silver,

13:2 [Ps. 115:4; Isa. 40:19, 20] all of them the work of craftsmen.

It is said of them,

“Those who offer human sacrifice 13:2 [1 Kgs. 19:18; Job 31:26, 27]kiss calves!”

3Therefore they shall be 13:3 ch. 6:4like the morning mist

or 13:3 ch. 6:4like the dew that goes early away,

13:3 See Ps. 1:4like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor

or 13:3 See Ps. 68:2like smoke from a window.

4But 13:4 ch. 12:9I am the Lord your God

from the land of Egypt;

13:4 See Ex. 20:3you know no God but me,

and 13:4 Isa. 43:11; 45:21besides me there is no savior.

513:5 Deut. 2:7; Amos 3:2It was I who knew you in the wilderness,

in the land of drought;

613:6 [ch. 4:7] but when they had grazed,13:6 Hebrew according to their pasture they became full,

13:6 Deut. 8:12, 14; [Deut. 32:15]they were filled, and their heart was lifted up;

13:6 Deut. 8:12, 14; [Deut. 32:15]therefore they forgot me.

7So 13:7 ch. 5:14I am to them like a lion;

13:7 Jer. 5:6like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.

8I will fall upon them 13:8 2 Sam. 17:8; Prov. 17:12like a bear robbed of her cubs;

I will tear open their breast,

and there I will devour them like a lion,

13:8 [ch. 2:12]as a wild beast would rip them open.

9He destroys13:9 Or I will destroy you, O Israel,

for you are against me, against 13:9 [Deut. 33:26]your helper.

1013:10 [ch. 8:4; 10:3] Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities?

Where are all your rulers—

those of whom 13:10 1 Sam. 8:5, 19you said,

“Give me a king and princes”?

1113:11 [1 Sam. 8:22] I gave you a king in my anger,

and 13:11 [1 Sam. 15:23]I took him away in my wrath.

12The iniquity of Ephraim is 13:12 Job 14:17bound up;

his sin is 13:12 Job 14:17kept in store.

1313:13 Isa. 13:8; 1 Thess. 5:3The pangs of childbirth come for him,

but he is an unwise son,

for at the right time he does not present himself

13:13 [2 Kgs. 19:3]at the opening of the womb.

1413:14 Isa. 25:8; 26:19; Ezek. 37:12I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol;

13:14 Isa. 25:8; 26:19; Ezek. 37:12I shall redeem them from Death.13:14 Or Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from Death?

13:14 [1 Cor. 15:55] O 13:14 [Ezek. 14:21] Death, where are your plagues?

13:14 [1 Cor. 15:55] O 13:14 [Ezek. 14:21] Sheol, where is your sting?

13:14 [Ezek. 9:10]Compassion is hidden from my eyes.

15Though 13:15 [Gen. 41:52] he may flourish among his brothers,

13:15 [Ezek. 19:12; Jonah 4:8; Hab. 1:9] the east wind, the wind of the Lord, shall come,

rising from the wilderness,

13:15 [Ezek. 17:10] and his fountain shall dry up;

his spring shall be parched;

it shall strip 13:15 [ch. 12:8]his treasury

of every precious thing.

1613:16 Ch 14:1 in Hebrew Samaria 13:16 [Hab. 1:11] shall bear her guilt,

because 13:16 2 Kgs. 18:12she has rebelled against her God;

they shall fall by the sword;

13:16 [ch. 9:12; 10:14] their little ones shall be dashed in pieces,

and their 13:16 [2 Kgs. 8:12; 15:16; Amos 1:13]pregnant women ripped open.
