Hosea 2章 ESV | 微讀聖經

Israel’s Unfaithfulness Punished

12:1 Ch 2:3 in Hebrew Say to your brothers, 2:1 [ch. 1:9] “You are my people,”2:1 Hebrew ammi, which means my people and to your sisters, 2:1 [ch. 1:6]“You have received mercy.”2:1 Hebrew ruhama, which means she has received mercy

2“Plead with your mother, plead—

for 2:2 [Isa. 50:1] she is not my wife,

and I am not her husband—

that she put away 2:2 [ch. 4:12; Ezek. 16:25]her whoring from her face,

and her adultery from between her breasts;

3lest 2:3 [Ezek. 16:39] I strip her naked

and make her as 2:3 [Ezek. 16:4] in the day she was born,

and 2:3 [ver. 9; Ezek. 19:13]make her like a wilderness,

and make her like a parched land,

and kill her with thirst.

42:4 ch. 1:6Upon her children also I will have no mercy,

2:4 ch. 1:2because they are children of whoredom.

5For 2:5 [ch. 1:2] their mother has played the whore;

she who conceived them has acted shamefully.

For 2:5 [ver. 12, 13] she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,

who 2:5 [ver. 8, 9; Jer. 44:17]give me my bread and my water,

my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

6Therefore 2:6 Job 3:23I will hedge up her2:6 Hebrew your way with thorns,

and 2:6 [Job 19:8; Lam. 3:7, 9]I will build a wall against her,

so that she cannot find her paths.

7She shall pursue her lovers

but not overtake them,

and she shall seek them

but shall not find them.

2:7 [Luke 15:17, 18] Then she shall say,

‘I will go and return to 2:7 [Isa. 54:5, 6]my first husband,

2:7 [Luke 15:17, 18] for it was better for me then than now.’

8And 2:8 [ver. 20; Isa. 1:3] she did not know

that it was 2:8 [Ezek. 16:19] I who gave her

2:8 Deut. 7:13the grain, the wine, and the oil,

and who lavished on 2:8 ch. 13:2her silver and gold,

2:8 [Ezek. 16:17, 18]which they used for Baal.

9Therefore 2:9 [ver. 3; Joel 1:10]I will take back

my grain in its time,

and my wine in its season,

and 2:9 [ver. 3; Joel 1:10]I will take away my wool and my flax,

which were to cover her nakedness.

10Now 2:10 Lam. 1:8; Ezek. 16:37; 23:29I will uncover her lewdness

in the sight of her lovers,

and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.

112:11 [Jer. 7:34; Amos 8:10] And I will put an end to all her mirth,

her feasts, her 2:11 [Amos 8:5] new moons, her 2:11 [Amos 8:5] Sabbaths,

and all her 2:11 [ch. 9:5; Isa. 1:13, 14]appointed feasts.

12And 2:12 [Isa. 5:5] I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,

2:12 [ver. 5] of which she said,

‘These are 2:12 [Mic. 1:7] my wages,

which my lovers have given me.’

I will make them a forest,

2:12 [ch. 13:8]and the beasts of the field shall devour them.

13And 2:13 [ch. 4:9] I will punish her for 2:13 [ch. 11:2; 13:1, 2] the feast days of the Baals

when she burned offerings to them

and 2:13 Ezek. 23:40; [Isa. 61:10]adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,

and went after her lovers

and forgot me, declares the Lord.

The Lord’s Mercy on Israel

14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her,

and 2:14 [Ezek. 20:35] bring her into the wilderness,

and 2:14 Isa. 40:2speak tenderly to her.

15And there I will give her her vineyards

and make the Valley of Achor2:15 Achor means trouble; compare Joshua 7:26 a door of hope.

And there she shall answer 2:15 [ch. 9:10; 11:1; Jer. 2:2; Ezek. 16:22, 60]as in the days of her youth,

as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.

16“And 2:16 ver. 18, 21in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’

17For 2:17 Zeph. 1:4; Zech. 13:2; [Ex. 23:13]I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more.

18And 2:18 Ezek. 34:25; [Job 5:23] I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground. And 2:18 Ps. 46:9; Isa. 2:4; 9:5; Ezek. 39:9, 10I will abolish2:18 Hebrew break the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in 2:18 Lev. 26:5; Jer. 23:6safety.

19And I will betroth you to me 2:19 [Ezek. 43:7] forever. 2:19 [ver. 7, 16; Jer. 3:14, 15; 2 Cor. 11:2]I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy.

202:20 [See ver. 19above] I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And 2:20 Jer. 31:34; John 17:3you shall know the Lord.

21“And 2:21 ver. 16in that day 2:21 [Zech. 8:12]I will answer, declares the Lord,

I will answer the heavens,

and they shall answer the earth,

22and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,

and they shall answer 2:22 [ch. 1:4, 11]Jezreel,2:22 Jezreel means God will sow

23and 2:23 [ch. 1:10]; See Ezek. 36:9-11I will sow her for myself in the land.

And 2:23 Cited Rom. 9:25, 26I 2:23 ch. 1:6will have mercy on No Mercy,2:23 Hebrew Lo-ruhama

and 2:23 ch. 1:9; 1 Pet. 2:10I will say to Not My People,2:23 Hebrew Lo-ammi2:23 ver. 1; Zech. 13:9; See Lev. 26:12; Jer. 31:33‘You are my people’;

and he shall say, ‘You are my God.’”
