Bible Reading for July 03

Hosea 5
[1] Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear,
O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare
on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. [2] And the revolters are profound to
make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
[3] I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou
committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. [4] They will not frame their
doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of
them, and they have not known the LORD. [5] And the pride of Israel doth
testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity;
Judah also shall fall with them. [6] They shall go with their flocks and with
their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn
himself from them. [7] They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they
have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their
portions. [8] Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud
at Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
[9] Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel
have I made known that which shall surely be. [10] The princes of Judah were
like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them
like water. [11] Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he
willingly walked after the commandment.
[12] Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as
rottenness.
[13] When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim
to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure
you of your wound.
[14] For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of
Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall
rescue him.
[15] I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and
seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Hosea 6
[1] Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal
us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. [2] After two days will he revive
us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
[3] Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is
prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter
and former rain unto the earth. [4] O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O
Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and
as the early dew it goeth away.
[5] Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words
of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. [6] For I
desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt
offerings.
[7] But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt
treacherously against me.
[8] Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
[9] And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder
in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. [10] I have seen an horrible
thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is
defiled. [11] Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned
the captivity of my people.

Hosea 7
[1] When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was
discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the
thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. [2] And they
consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their
own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
[3] They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their
lies.
[4] They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from
raising after he hath kneeded the dough, until it be leavened. [5] In the day
of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched
out his hand with scorners. [6] For they have made ready their heart like an
oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the
morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
[7] They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their
kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. [8] Ephraim,
he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
[9] Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray
hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. [10] And the pride of
Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God,
nor seek him for all this. [11] Ephraim also is like a silly dove without
heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
[12] When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down
as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath
heard.
[13] Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because
they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have
spoken lies against me.
[14] And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon
their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against
me.
[15] Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine
mischief against me.
[16] They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow:
their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall
be their derision in the land of Egypt.
