Bible Reading for July 02

Hosea 1
[1] The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of
Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam
the son of Joash, king of Israel. [2] The beginning of the word of the LORD by
Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and
children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing
from the LORD. [3] So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which
conceived, and bare him a son.
[4] And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while,
and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause
to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. [5] And it shall come to pass at
that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
[6] And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call
her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel;
but I will utterly take them away. [7] But I will have mercy upon the house of
Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow,
nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
[8] Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. [9] Then
said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be
your God.
[10] Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the
place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said
unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. [11] Then shall the children of
Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves
one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of
Jezreel.

Hosea 2
[1] Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ru-hamah. [2] Plead
with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let
her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from
between her breasts; [3] Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that
she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and
slay her with thirst.
[4] And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of
whoredoms.
[5] For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done
shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and
my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. [6] Therefore, behold, I
will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her
paths.
[7] And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and
she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and
return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. [8] For
she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her
silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. [9] Therefore will I return, and
take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and
will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
[10] And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none
shall deliver her out of mine hand. [11] I will also cause all her mirth to
cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn
feasts. [12] And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath
said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a
forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. [13] And I will visit upon
her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked
herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and
forgat me, saith the LORD. [14] Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring
her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. [15] And I will give
her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and
she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she
came up out of the land of Egypt. [16] And it shall be at that day, saith the
LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. [17] For I
will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be
remembered by their name. [18] And in that day will I make a covenant for them
with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the
creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the
battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. [19] And I will
betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in
righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. [20] I
will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
[21] And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will
hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; [22] And the earth shall hear
the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
[23] And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her
that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people,
Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

Hosea 3
[1] Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet
an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel,
who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. [2] So I bought her to me for
fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of
barley: [3] And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt
not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be
for thee.
[4] For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and
without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an
ephod, and without teraphim:
[5] Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God,
and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter
days.

Hosea 4
[1] Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a
controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor
mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. [2] By swearing, and lying, and
killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood
toucheth blood. [3] Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth
therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of
heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. [4] Yet let no man
strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the
priest.
[5] Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with
thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. [6] My people are destroyed
for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject
thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of
thy God, I will also forget thy children.
[7] As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change
their glory into shame.
[8] They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their
iniquity.
[9] And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for
their ways, and reward them their doings. [10] For they shall eat, and not have
enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have
left off to take heed to the LORD. [11] Whoredom and wine and new wine take
away the heart. [12] My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff
declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and
they have gone a whoring from under their God. [13] They sacrifice upon the
tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars
and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall
commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
[14] I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your
spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores,
and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand
shall fall.
[15] Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come
not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
[16] For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed
them as a lamb in a large place.
[17] Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. [18] Their drink is sour: they
have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
[19] The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because
of their sacrifices.
