Bible Reading for July 04

Hosea 8
[1] Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house
of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against
my law.
[2] Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. [3] Israel hath cast off
the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. [4] They have set up kings,
but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and
their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
[5] Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against
them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? [6] For from Israel was
it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria
shall be broken in pieces. [7] For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap
the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it
yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
[8] Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel
wherein is no pleasure.
[9] For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath
hired lovers.
[10] Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and
they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. [11] Because
Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
[12] I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as
a strange thing.
[13] They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but
the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit
their sins: they shall return to Egypt. [14] For Israel hath forgotten his
Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I
will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

Hosea 9
[1] Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a
whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor. [2] The
floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in
her.
[3] They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. [4] They shall not offer wine
offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their
sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof
shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house
of the LORD. [5] What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast
of the LORD?
[6] For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up,
Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall
possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles. [7] The days of visitation
are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is
a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the
great hatred. [8] The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a
snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God. [9] They
have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will
remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins. [10] I found Israel like
grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree
at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto
that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
[11] As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth,
and from the womb, and from the conception. [12] Though they bring up their
children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe
also to them when I depart from them!
[13] Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall
bring forth his children to the murderer. [14] Give them, O LORD: what wilt
thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
[15] All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the
wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love
them no more: all their princes are revolters. [16] Ephraim is smitten, their
root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet
will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
[17] My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and
they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Hosea 10
[1] Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to
the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the
goodness of his land they have made goodly images. [2] Their heart is divided;
now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall
spoil their images. [3] For now they shall say, We have no king, because we
feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
[4] They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus
judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. [5] The
inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: for the
people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on
it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
[6] It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim
shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. [7] As for
Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. [8] The high places
also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle
shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us;
and to the hills, Fall on us. [9] O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of
Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity
did not overtake them. [10] It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and
the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in
their two furrows. [11] And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth
to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make
Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods. [12] Sow to
yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it
is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
[13] Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the
fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy
mighty men.
[14] Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses
shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the
mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. [15] So shall Bethel do unto you
because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly
be cut off.
