Hosea 10 Cross References - ECB

¹ Yisra El is an evacuated vine, he equates fruit to himself: as the abundance of his fruit he abounds the sacrifice altars; as the goodness of his land they make goodly monoliths: ² their heart is allotted; now they acknowledge having guilted: he breaks the neck of their altars; he ravages their monoliths. ³ For now they say, We have no sovereign, because we awe not Yah Veh. What then works a sovereign to us? ⁴ They word words; oathing vainly in cutting a covenant: thus judgment springs as rosh in the furrows of the field: ⁵ the fellow tabernaclers of Shomeron sojourn because of the heifers of Beth Aven: for the people mourn over it; and the ascetics twirl on it: for the honor is exiled from it: ⁶ also it is borne to Ashshur as an offering to sovereign Yareb to plead: Ephrayim shames and Yisra El shames of his own counsel. ⁷ As for Shomeron, her sovereign is severed as the raging on the face of the water. ⁸ And the bamahs of Aven, the sin of Yisra El, desolates: the thorn and the thistle ascend on their sacrifice altars; and they say to the mountains, Cover us! and to the hills, Fall on us! ⁹ O Yisra El, you sinned from the days of Gibah: there they stood: the war in Gibah overtook them not because of the sons of wickedness. ¹⁰ I yearn to bind them; and when I bind their two eyes the people gather against them. ¹¹ And Ephrayim is as an heifer that is taught - who loves to thresh; and I - I pass over on her good neck: Ephrayim, I ride; Yah Hudah plows; and Yaaqov harrows. ¹² Seed to yourselves in justness; harvest to your mouth mercy; till your tillage: for it is time to seek Yah Veh, until he comes and pours justness on you. ¹³ You plow wickedness; you harvest wickedness: you eat the fruit of deceptions: because you confide in your way - in the abundance of your mighty. ¹⁴ And an uproar rises among your people; and ravages all your fortresses as Shalman ravaged Beth Arb El in the day of war: - the mother splattered on her sons. ¹⁵ Thus Beth El works to you at the face of the evil of your evil: in the dawn in severing, sever the sovereign of Yisra El.

Or a stake taken to hang any instrument thereon? ⁴ Behold, it is given into the fire for fuel; the fire consumes both the ends thereof and scorches the midst thereof.

¹
ABIDING IN THE VINE
I AM the true vine, and my Father the cultivator. ² Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purifies to bear much more fruit. ³ Already you are pure through the word I spoke to you. ⁴ Exactly as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine; thus neither can you unless you abide in me. ⁵ I AM the vine, you are the branches: whoever abides in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: for apart from me you can do naught. ⁶ Unless anyone abides in me, he is cast as a branch and withers; and men gather them and cast them into the fire and burn them.

⁷ For the vineyard of Yah Veh Sabaoth is the house of Yisra El, and the men of Yah Hudah his plant of delights: and he awaits judgment; and behold, oppression: for justness; and behold, a cry.

¹³ In rebelling and lying against Yah Veh; and departing from our Elohim: wording oppression and revolt; conceiving and muttering from the heart words of falsehood: ¹⁴ and judgment removes backward and justness stands afar off: for truth falters in the broadway and straightforwardness cannot enter. ¹⁵ Yes, truth lacks; and he who turns aside from evil, spoils: and Yah Veh sees, and it is evil in his eyes that there is no judgment.

¹³ and takes of the seed of the kingdom and cuts a covenant with him and takes an oath of him: he also takes the mighty of the land: ¹⁴ so that the sovereigndom becomes lowly - that it not lift itself; to guard his covenant, so that it stands. ¹⁵ And he rebels against him by sending his angels into Misrayim, so that they give him horses and much people.

THE THIRD TRUMP

²⁸ And the sovereign takes counsel and works two calves of gold, and says to them, Too much for you to ascend to Yeru Shalem: behold your Elohim, O Yisra El, who ascended you from the land of Misrayim. ²⁹ And he sets the one in Beth El and gives the one in Dan: ³⁰ and this word becomes a sin: for the people go at the face of the one, to Dan. ³¹ And he works a house of bamahs and works priests of the end of the people who are not of the sons of Levi: ³² and Yarob Am works a celebration in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the celebration in Yah Hudah: and he holocausts on the sacrifice altar: thus he works in Beth El sacrificing to the calves he worked: and in Beth El he stands the priests of the bamahs he worked:

²⁹ Only, the sins of Yarob Am the son of Nebat who had Yisra El to sin, Yah Hu turns not aside from after them the golden calves in Beth El and in Dan.

¹⁶ and they leave all the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim; and work moltens - two calves and work an asherah and prostrate to all the host of the heavens and serve Baal:

⁵ And he ceases the ascetics whom the sovereigns of Yah Hudah gave to incense in the bamahs in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the places all around Yeru Shalem; also them who incensed to Baal to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all the host of the heavens:

¹⁵ And he stands priests for the bamahs and for the bucks and for the calves he works:

⁸ And now you say to strengthen yourselves at the face of the sovereigndom of Yah Veh in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude; and golden calves with you which Yarob Am worked you for elohim.

¹⁵ Though you, Yisra El, whore, and you, O Yah Hudah, neither guilt nor come to Gilgal; neither ascend to Beth Aven nor oath, Yah Veh lives.

⁸ You, blast the shophar in Gibah and the trumpet in Ramah: shout at the house of mischief, After you, O Ben Yamin!

¹¹ Ephrayim is as a fowl their honor flies from the birth and from the belly and from the conception.

⁴ And I spread my hand on Yah Hudah and on all the settlers of Yeru Shalem; and I cut off the survivors of Baal from this place; and the name of the ascetics with the priests;

²⁷ so that not only this our part comes in peril to disrepute; but also that the priestal precinct of the mega goddess Artemis is reckoned as naught, and her majesty is about to be taken down - whom all Asia and the world venerates.

MERCHANTS WEEP OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her; because no one markets her wares never more ¹² - the wares of gold and silver and precious stones and of pearls and white linen and purple and silk and scarlet and all incense timber and all vessels of elephantine and all vessels of most precious timber and of copper and iron and marble ¹³ and cinnamon and incense and myrrh and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and grain and animals and sheep and horses and chariots and bodies and souls of humanity. ¹⁴ And the evening hour of the panting of your soul is gone from you; and all the greasy and radiant are gone from you; and you no way find them never more. ¹⁵ Her merchants of these, whom she enriched, stand from afar for the awe of her torture - weeping and mourning ¹⁶ and wording, Woe! Woe! - that megalopolis arrayed in white linen and purple and scarlet and gilded in gold and precious stones and pearls! ¹⁷ Because in one hour so vast riches are desolated.
PILOTS, PASSENGERS, AND SAILERS CRY OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And every pilot and all the homogeneous crowd in sailers and ship crew and as many as work by sea stand from afar; ¹⁸ and seeing the smoke of her firing, they cry, wording, What is like to this megalopolis! ¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads and cry, weeping and mourning, wording, Woe! Woe that megalopolis, wherein all who had sailers in the sea enriched from her preciousnesses! Because in one hour she desolated.

³ Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against him; and Hoshea becomes his servant and returns him offerings:

⁷ the paces of his strength constrict and his own counsel casts him down.

²⁹ For they shame because of the mighty oaks you desire, and you blush for the gardens you chose.

³ So the stronghold of Paroh becomes your shame; and the trust in the shadow of Misrayim your shame.

⁹ They who form a sculptile all of them are a waste; and their desires benefit not: and they are their own witnesses; they neither see, nor know to shame. ¹⁰ Who ever formed an el or poured a sculptile that is not beneficial? ¹¹ Behold, all his companions shame: and the engravers are of humanity: they all gather; together they stand: they fear; together they shame.

¹⁶ They shame; they even confound - all of them: the engravers of molds go to shame together.

¹
THE IDOLS OF BABEL
Bel kneels; Nebo stoops; their idols are for the live beings and for the animals: your loads are heavily loaded - a burden to the languid. ² They stoop; they kneel together; they cannot rescue the burden; and their souls go into captivity.

²⁶ As the thief shames when he is found out, thus the house of Yisra El shames - they, their sovereigns, their governors, and their priests, and their prophets: ²⁷ saying to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You birthed me: for they face the nape of their neck to me and not their face: and in the time of their evil they say, Rise! and, Save us!

³⁶ Why gad you about so mightily to change your way? Even of Misrayim, you shame as you shamed of Ashshur. ³⁷ Yes, you go forth from him, with your hands on your head: for Yah Veh spurns your confidences, and you prosper not therein.

²⁴ For shame devours the labor of our fathers from our youth - their flocks and their herds their sons and their daughters: ²⁵ we lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we sin against Yah Veh our Elohim - we and our fathers from our youth even to this day, and hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh our Elohim.

²⁴ And they neither hearken nor spread their ear; but walk in the counsels and in the warp of their evil heart; and go backward; and not toward the face.

¹² and I kindle a fire in the houses of the elohim of Misrayim; and he burns them and captures them: and he covers himself with the land of Misrayim as a tender covers with his clothes; and he comes from there in shalom: ¹³ and he breaks the monoliths of Beth Shemesh in the land of Misrayim; and burns the houses of the elohim of the Misrayim with fire.

¹³ And Moab shames because of Kemosh, as the house of Yisra El shamed of Beth El their confidence.

³¹ Then you remember your own evil ways and your no good exploits; and loathe at your face for your perversities and for your abhorrences.

⁸ and also carries captives into Misrayim - their elohim with their libations and with their instruments of desire of silver and of gold: and he stands more years than the sovereign of the north:

⁷ According to their abundance, thus they sin against me: so I change their honor into abasement.

¹⁹ the wind binds her in her wings, and they shame because of their sacrifices.

¹³ And Ephrayim sees his sickness and Yah Hudah sees his sore; and Ephrayim goes to the Ashshuri and sends to sovereign Yareb to plead: yet he can neither heal you nor cure you of your sore.

⁶ For even of Yisra El: the engraver works it; and it is not of Elohim: for the calf of Shomeron shatters.

⁵ He returns not to the land of Misrayim, and the Ashshuri is his sovereign - because they refuse to return: ⁶ and the sword whirls on his cities and finishes off his branches and consumes because of their own counsels.

¹⁶ And you guard the statutes of Omri and all the works of the house of Ach Ab; and you walk in their counsels: and I give you for a desolation, and the settlers for a hissing: and you bear the reproach of my people.

¹
ACH AB COVETS THE VINEYARD OF NABOTH
And so be it, after these words, Naboth the Yizre Eliy has a vineyard in Yizre El beside the temple of Ach Ab sovereign of Shomeron:

³ And the angel of Yah Veh words to Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, Rise, ascend to meet the angels of the sovereign of Shomeron and word to them, Is it because there is no elohim in Yisra El, that you go to enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron?

³⁰ And Hoshea the son of Elah conspires a conspiracy against Peqach the son of Remal Yah; and smites him and deathifies him and reigns in his stead in the twentieth year of Yah Tham the son of Uzzi Yah.

⁴ and the sovereign of Ashshur finds conspiracy in Hoshea: for he sends angels to So the sovereign of Misrayim and holocausts no offering to the sovereign of Ashshur as year by year: and the sovereign of Ashshur restrains him and binds him in the house of prison:

³ For now they say, We have no sovereign, because we awe not Yah Veh. What then works a sovereign to us?

¹³ raging waves of the sea frothing their own shame, planetary stars - to whom is guarded the blackness of gloom to the eons.

²¹ and I took your sin, the calf you worked, and burnt it with fire and crushed it and ground it well until it pulverized as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the wadi that descended from the mount.

²⁸ And the sovereign takes counsel and works two calves of gold, and says to them, Too much for you to ascend to Yeru Shalem: behold your Elohim, O Yisra El, who ascended you from the land of Misrayim. ²⁹ And he sets the one in Beth El and gives the one in Dan: ³⁰ and this word becomes a sin: for the people go at the face of the one, to Dan.

² and he calls out against the sacrifice altar in the word of Yah Veh, and says, Sacrifice altar! Sacrifice altar! Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, a son is birthed to the house of David, Yoshi Yah by name; and on you he sacrifices the priests of the bamahs who incense upon you; and burn human bones upon you.

³⁴ And this word becomes the sin of the house of Yarob Am to cut off and to desolate from off the face of the soil.

¹⁶ and he gives up Yisra El because of the sins Yarob Am sins - who had Yisra El sin.

¹⁵ and also the sacrifice altar at Beth El and the bamah Yarob Am the son of Nebat, who had Yisra El sin, worked, both that sacrifice altar and the bamah he pulls down and burns the bamah and pulverizes to dust and burns the asherah.

¹
YISRA EL DESTROYS THE MONOLITHS, ASHERIM, AND BAMAHS
And all this is finished, all the Yisra Eliy they find go to the cities of Yah Hudah and break the monoliths and cut down the asherim and pull down the bamahs and the sacrifice altars from all Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin and in Ephrayim and Menash Sheh until they finish them off: and all the sons of Yisra El return, every man to his possession, to their own cities.

⁵ and he burns the bones of the priests on their sacrifice altars; and purifies Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem ⁶ - and in the cities of Menash Sheh and Ephrayim and Shimon - even to Naphtali, with their swords all around: ⁷ and he pulls down the sacrifice altars and the asherim; and crushes and pulverizes the sculptiles; and cuts down all the sun icons throughout all the land of Yisra El: and he returns to Yeru Shalem.

¹⁹ and they go into the caves of the rocks and into the caves of the dust - at the face of fear of Yah Veh and for the majesty of his pomp when he rises to terrify the earth.

¹³ on the soil of my people thorns and briers ascend; yes, on all the houses of joy in the city of jumping for joy:

¹³ and thorns ascend in her citadels - thistles and thorns in the fortresses: and it becomes a habitation of rest of monsters - a court for daughters of the owls:

¹³ they sacrifice on the mountain tops and incense on the hills; under oaks and poplars and terebinth because the shadow is good: so your daughters whore and your brides adulterize.

⁶ For behold, they are gone because of ravage: Misrayim gathers them; Moph entombs them: as for the desirables of their silver, thistles possess them: thorns are in their tents.

² their heart is allotted; now they acknowledge having guilted: he breaks the neck of their altars; he ravages their monoliths.

⁵ the fellow tabernaclers of Shomeron sojourn because of the heifers of Beth Aven: for the people mourn over it; and the ascetics twirl on it: for the honor is exiled from it:

¹⁴ they who oath by the guilt of Shomeron, and say, Your elohim, O Dan, lives! and, The way of Beer Sheba lives! - even they fall and never rise again.

⁵ all this is for the rebellion of Yaaqov and for the sins of the house of Yisra El. What is the rebellion of Yaaqov? Is it not Shomeron? And what are the bamahs of Yah Hudah? Are they not Yeru Shalem?

¹³ You, settler of Lachish, yoke the chariot to the stallion; she is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Siyon - for all the rebellions of Yisra El found in you.

³⁰ Then they begin to word to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Veil us.

¹⁶ and word to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and secrete us from the face of him sitting on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb:

⁶ And in those days humanity seeks death and finds not; and pants to die and death flees from them.

⁵ and Yah Veh sees that the evil of humanity is great in the earth and that every imagination of the fabrications of his heart is only evil every day.

²¹ And Yah Veh scents a sweet scent; and Yah Veh says in his heart, I never again abase the soil for sake of humanity; for the imagination of the heart of humanity is evil from his youth; I never again smite every live being as I worked;

²²
THE SONS OF BELI YAAL EXPLOIT THE CONCUBINE
They well-prepare their hearts, and behold, the men of the city - men - sons of Beli Yaal beset the house all around and beat at the door and say to the man of the house - the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him. ²³ And the man - the master of the house goes out to them and says to them, No, my brothers, I beseech you, vilify not; after this man comes into my house, work not this folly. ²⁴ Behold, my daughter - a virgin and his concubine; I bring them out now: abase them and work with them as seems good in your eyes: but work not this word of folly to this man. ²⁵ And the men will to not hearken to him: so the man holds his concubine and brings her out to them; and they know her and exploit her all night until morning: and when the dawn ascends, they send her away. ²⁶ Then the woman comes at the turning of the face of the morning and falls at the portal of the house of the man where her adoni is, until it is light. ²⁷ And her adoni rises in the morning and opens the doors of the house and goes out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine fallen at the portal of the house - her hands on the threshold. ²⁸ And he says to her, Rise and we go. - and there is no answer. And the man takes her on a he burro and the man rises and goes to his place: ²⁹ and he comes into his house and takes a knife and lays hold on his concubine and dismembers her with her bones into twelve members; and sends her into all the borders of Yisra El. ³⁰ And so be it, all who see it, say, Thus has neither been nor seen from the day the sons of Yisra El ascended from the land of Misrayim to this day! Set on it! Consult and word!

⁵ and the masters of Gibah rose against me and surrounded the house on me by night and considered slaughtering me: and abased my concubine that she died.

¹³ Now give the men - the sons of Beli Yaal in Gibah and we deathify them and thus burn away evil from Yisra El. And Ben Yamin wills to not hearken to the voice of their brothers the sons of Yisra El: ¹⁴ and the sons of Ben Yamin gather from the cities to Gibah, to go to war against the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁷ And beside Ben Yamin, the men of Yisra El muster four hundred thousand men who draw sword - all men of war. ¹⁸ And the sons of Yisra El rise and ascend to the house of Elohim and ask counsel of Elohim, and say, Who of us goes to war at the beginning against the sons of Ben Yamin? And Yah Veh says, Yah Hudah, at the beginning. ¹⁹ And the sons of Yisra El rise in the morning and encamp against Gibah: ²⁰ and the men of Yisra El go to war against Ben Yamin: and the men of Yisra El line up to war against them at Gibah. ²¹ And the sons of Ben Yamin go from Gibah and ruin to the earth of the Yisra Eliy that day twenty-two thousand men. ²² And the people - the men of Yisra El strengthen themselves and line up to war again in the place they lined up the first day. ²³ And the sons of Yisra El ascend and weep at the face of Yah Veh until evening; and ask counsel of Yah Veh, saying, Add I to approach to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? And Yah Veh says, Ascend against him. ²⁴ - and the sons of Yisra El approach against the sons of Ben Yamin the second day. ²⁵ And Ben Yamin goes to meet them from Gibah the second day; and ruins to the earth of the sons of Yisra El again eighteen thousand men - all who draw the sword. ²⁶ And all the sons of Yisra El and all the people ascend and come to the house of Elohim and weep; and settle there at the face of Yah Veh; and fast that day until evening; and holocaust holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh. ²⁷ And the sons of Yisra El ask of Yah Veh - for the ark of the covenant of Elohim is there in those days; ²⁸ and Pinechas the son of El Azar the son of Aharon stands at the face of it in those days, saying, Go I yet again to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? Or cease? And Yah Veh says, Ascend; for tomorrow I give them into your hand. ²⁹ And Yisra El sets lurkers all around Gibah: ³⁰ and on the third day the sons of Yisra El ascend against the sons of Ben Yamin and line up against Gibah, as time by time: ³¹ and the sons of Ben Yamin come out to meet the people; and they tear away from the city and begin to smite and pierce the people - about thirty men of Yisra El, as time by time - in the highways whereby one ascends to the house of Elohim and to Gibah in the field. ³² And the sons of Ben Yamin say, They are smitten at our face, as at the first. But the sons of Yisra El say, We flee and tear them away from the city to the highways. ³³ And all the men of Yisra El rise from their place and line up at Baal Tamar: and the lurkers of Yisra El come from their places - from the barrens of Gibah: ³⁴ ten thousand chosen men of all Yisra El and come against Gibah; and the war is heavy: but they know not that evil touches them. ³⁵ And Yah Veh smites Ben Yamin at the face of Yisra El: and that day the sons of Yisra El ruin of the Ben Yaminiy twenty-five thousand and a hundred men - all who draw the sword. ³⁶ And the sons of Ben Yamin see they are smitten: for the men of Yisra El give place to the Ben Yaminiy, because they confide in the lurkers they set beside Gibah: ³⁷ and the lurkers hasten and spread on Gibah; and the lurkers draw along and smite all the city with the mouth of the sword. ³⁸ And there becomes a season to the men of Yisra El with the lurkers, to make an abounding heaviness of smoke ascend from the city. ³⁹ And the men of Yisra El return in the war, and Ben Yamin begins to smite and pierce about thirty persons of the men of Yisra El: for they say, In smiting, they are smitten at our face as in the first war. ⁴⁰ And the signal - a pillar of smoke begins to holocaust from the city, the Ben Yaminiy turn face behind them, and behold, the city totally holocausts to the heavens. ⁴¹ And the men of Yisra El turn again, and the men of Ben Yamin hasten: for they see that evil touches them: ⁴² and they turn from the face of the men of Yisra El to the way of the wilderness; and the war overtakes them: and they ruin them who come in their midst from the cities. ⁴³ Thus they surround the Ben Yaminiy and pursue them and tread them down with ease over against Gibah from the rising sun. ⁴⁴ And eighteen thousand men of Ben Yamin fall - all men of valour: ⁴⁵ and they turn face and flee toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they glean five thousand of their men in the highways; and adhere after them to Gidom; and smite two thousand of their men: ⁴⁶ and all who fall that day of Ben Yamin - twenty-five thousand men who draw the sword - all men of valour. ⁴⁷ And six hundred men turn face and flee to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon and settle in the rock Rimmon four months: ⁴⁸ and the men of Yisra El turn on the sons of Ben Yamin and smite them with the mouth of the sword - the integrious of city, to animals, and to all they find: also they set on fire all the cities they find.

⁹ They deepen; they ruin as in the days of Gibah: he remembers their perversity; he visits their sins.

⁶ I cut off the goyim; desolate their corners: I parch their outways so no one passes by: destroy their cities - without man; without settler. ⁷ I say, Only, awe me; you, take discipline that I not cut off your habitation from all I visit on her: but they rise early and ruin all their exploits.

³¹ So you witness to yourselves that you are the sons of them who murdered the prophets: ³² and you - you fulfill/shalam the measure of your fathers.

⁶³ And so be it, as Yah Veh rejoiced over you to well-please you and to abound you; thus Yah Veh rejoices over you to destroy you and to desolate you; and uproot you from the soil you go to possess:

²⁴ - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth the Almighty of Yisra El. Ho, I sigh over my tribulators and avenge me of my enemies:

⁶ You abandoned me - an oracle of Yah Veh; you go backward: and I spread my hand against you, and ruin you; I weary with sighing:

¹⁶ Behold, I send for many fishers; - an oracle of Yah Veh and they fish them: and afterward, I send for many hunters; and they hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks.

⁴ Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I turn back the vessels of war in your hands with which you fight the sovereign of Babel and the Kesediym who besiege you outside the walls; and I gather them midst this city:

¹³ Thus I finish off my wrath and I rest my fury on them, and sigh: and they know that I Yah Veh word in my zeal when I finish off my fury in them.

³⁷ behold, so I gather all your lovers whom you pleased and all whom you loved with all whom you hated - and I gather them all around against you and expose your nakedness to them so that they see all your nakedness.

⁴² Thus I rest my fury toward you; and turn my jealousy from you: and I rest, and vex no more.

⁹ So I give her into the hand of her lovers - into the hand of the sons of Ashshur whom she pants after.

⁴⁶ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I ascend a congregation on them, and give them to be removed and for plunder.

⁹ and so be it, as people, as priest: and I visit on them for their ways, and return their exploits.

¹ A shophar to your palate - as an eagle against the house of Yah Veh: because they trespass my covenant and rebel against my torah.

¹⁰ Yes, though they hire among the goyim I now gather them; and they are pierced a little by the burden of the sovereign of governors.

¹⁰ Writhe, and birth, O daughter of Siyon, as a woman birthing: for now you go from the city and you tabernacle in the field and you go to Babel - there to be rescued: there Yah Veh redeems you from the palm of your enemies. ¹¹ And now, many goyim gather against you, who say, She profanes! - but our eye sees on Siyon. ¹² They neither know the fabrications of Yah Veh nor discern his counsel: for he gathers them as the omers into the threshingfloor. ¹³ Rise and thresh, O daughter of Siyon: for I set your horn iron and I set your hoofs copper; and you pulverize many people: and I devote their greedy gain to Yah Veh, and their valuables to the Adonay of the whole earth.

² and I gather all goyim to battle against Yeru Shalem; and capture the city and plunder the houses; and rape the women: and half of the city goes into exile, and not cut off the remnant of the people from the city. ³ And Yah Veh comes and fights against those goyim, as the day he fought in the day of war.

⁷ And the sovereign hears, and he is wroth: and he sends his warriors and destroys those murderers and burns their city.

⁴ Muzzle not the ox when he threshes the corn.

⁵ and Yah Veh his Elohim gives him into the hand of the sovereign of Aram and they smite him; and capture a great multitude and bring them to Dammeseq: and he is given into the hand of the sovereign of Yisra El, who smites him with a great stroke. ⁶ And Peqach the son of Remal Yah slaughters in Yah Hudah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day - all sons of valour; because they forsake Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. ⁷ And Zichri, mighty of Ephrayim, slaughters Maase Yah the son of the sovereign and Ezri Qam the eminent of the house and El Qanah the second to the sovereign: ⁸ and the sons of Yisra El capture two hundred thousand of their brothers - women, sons and daughters: and also plunder much spoil from them and bring the spoil to Shomeron.

²⁴ Plows the plower all day to seed? Opens and harrows he his soil?

¹¹ because you cheer - because you jump for joy O you plunderers of my inheritance, because you grow fat as the heifer at grass and resound as the mighty;

⁵ for their mother whores: she who conceived them shames - for she says, I go after my lovers who give me my bread and my water; my wool and my flax; my oil and my drink:

¹
THE RECONCILIATION OF HOSHEA
Then Yah Veh says to me, Go again; love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress, according to the love of Yah Veh toward the sons of Yisra El, who face other elohim and love cakes of grapes.

¹⁶ For Yisra El rebels as a revolting heifer; now Yah Veh tends them as a lamb in an expanse:

¹ Neither cheer, O Yisra El; nor twirl as people: for you whore from your Elohim, you love a payoff on every crop threshingfloor.

⁴ - draw them with human cords - with ropes of love: and I am to them as they who lift the yoke on their jaws; and I spread to them; and they eat.

¹⁸ For they who are such serve not our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah, but their own belly; and through kind words and eulogy seduce the hearts of the simple.

⁶ He descends as rain on the mown fleece - as showers that water the earth.

⁴ Seek Yah Veh and his strength; seek his face continually:

⁵ They who seed in tears shout in harvesting: ⁶ in going, he who comes weeping, bearing his seed, and seeding, doubtless comes again with shouting, bearing his sheaves.

¹⁸ The wicked work false deeds; and he who seeds justness, a hire of truth.

²¹ Death and life are in the hand of the tongue; and they who love it eat the fruit thereof.

⁶ In the morning, sow your seed; and in the evening, leave not your hand: for you know not which prospers - this or that; or whether they both be one good.

⁶ and I place it desolate - neither plucked nor hoed; and briers and thorns ascend: and I misvah the thick clouds to rain no rain thereon.

²³ And he gives the rain of your seed to seed the soil; and bread of the produce of the soil; and it is fat and fattened: in that day, your chattel graze in enlarged meadows:

¹
HO TO THEM WHO LOOK NOT UPON THE HOLY ONE
Ho to them who descend to Misrayim for help; and lean on horses and confide in chariots because they are many; and in cavalry because they are mighty mighty; and neither look to the Holy One of Yisra El nor seek Yah Veh.

²⁰ Blithesome - you who seed beside all waters, who send forth the feet of the ox and the burro.

³ For I pour water on him who is thirsty, and flowings on the dry: I pour my spirit on your seed and my blessing on your offspring:

⁸ Drip, you heavens, from above; and the vapours, flow justness: earth opens and bears fruit of salvation; and justness sprouts together: I Yah Veh created it.

⁶ Seek Yah Veh while he is to be found; call on him while he is near:

³ For thus says Yah Veh to the men of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, Till your tillage; seed not among thorns: ⁴ circumcise yourselves to Yah Veh and turn aside the foreskins of your heart, you men of Yah Hudah and settlers of Yeru Shalem: lest my fury comes forth as fire and burns so that no one can quench it at the face of the evil of your exploitations.

¹² And you, call on me; and come and pray to me; and I hearken to you: ¹³ and you, seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart: ¹⁴ and you find me - an oracle of Yah Veh and I return your captivity and I gather you from all the goyim and from all the places I drove you - an oracle of Yah Veh and I return you to the place whence I exiled you;

⁴ In those days, and in that time, - an oracle of Yah Veh the sons of Yisra El come - they and the sons of Yah Hudah together coming and weeping: they come and seek Yah Veh their Elohim:

²⁶ and I give all them all around my hill a blessing; and I descend the downpour in its time - downpours of blessing:

³ And we know - we pursue to know Yah Veh: as the dawn he prepares his proceeding; and he comes to us as the downpour - as the after rain pouring to the earth.

⁷ For they seed the wind and harvest the hurricane: there is no stalk; the sprout works no flour: and if it works, strangers swallow it.

⁶ And you, return to your Elohim; guard mercy and judgment and await your Elohim continually.

⁴ For thus says Yah Veh to the house of Yisra El: Seek me, and live:

⁶ Seek Yah Veh, and live; lest he prospers as fire in the house of Yoseph and consumes; and no one in Beth El to quench it.

⁸ seek him who works Kimah and Kesil and turns the shadow of death into the morning and makes the day dark with night: who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them on the face of the earth: Yah Veh is his name:

¹⁵ Hate the evil and love the good and set judgment in the portal: perhaps Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth grants charism to the survivors of Yoseph.

¹
THE CALL OF YAH VEH TO THE GOYIM
Gather yourselves; yes, gather, O goyim not yearned for: ² ere the birth of the statute; ere the day pass as the chaff; ere the fuming wrath of Yah Veh comes on you; ere the day of the wrath of Yah Veh comes on you. ³ Seek Yah Veh, all you humble of the earth, who do his judgment: seek justness; seek humility: perhaps you are hidden in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh.

²⁴ Agonize to enter through the narrow gate: for many, I word to you, seek to enter, and are not able;

¹⁸ and yet indeed, in those days, I pour of my Spirit; on my servants and on my maids, and they prophesy:

⁶ I plant, Apollos irrigates; but Elohim grows. ⁷ So neither is whoever plants aught nor whoever irrigates; but Elohim who grows.

¹⁸ and the fruit of justness spores in shalom by them who make shalom.

⁸ Even as I see, they who plow mischief and seed toil, harvest thus.

¹⁶ Neither is the sovereign saved by the abundance of valour; nor the mighty rescued by the abundance of force.

⁷ behold the mighty who sets not Elohim as his stronghold - who confides in the abundance of his riches - who strengthens himself in his calamity.

¹⁰ Neither confide in oppression nor rob in vain; if your valuables flourish, set not your heart.

³¹ they eat of the fruit of their own way and satiate with their own counsels:

¹⁹ The lip of truth establishes eternally; and a false tongue is for a blink.

²⁰ The belly of man satiates with the fruit of his mouth - satiates with the produce of his lips. ²¹ Death and life are in the hand of the tongue; and they who love it eat the fruit thereof.

⁵ Neither is a false witness exonerated nor escapes he who breathes lies.

⁸ Whoever seeds wickedness, harvests mischief; and the scion of his fury is finished off.

¹¹ I returned and saw under the sun, neither is the race to the swift nor the war to the mighty nor yet bread to the wise nor yet riches to the discerning nor yet charism to the knowing: for time and coincidence happens to all.

³ they cheer the sovereign with their evil and the governors with their deceptions:

¹² Ephrayim surrounds me with deceptions and the house of Yisra El with deceit: and Yah Hudah rambles on with El and is trustworthy with the holy.

⁷ be not seduced: Elohim is not snubbed: for whatever a human spores he also harvests; ⁸ because whoever spores to his flesh of the flesh harvests corruption; and whoever spores to the Spirit of the Spirit harvests life eternal.

¹¹ rescue me, I beseech you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esav: for I awe him, lest he comes and smites me and the mother with the sons.

⁹ And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah - the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Shomeron and besieges it: ¹⁰ and at the end of three years they capture it: in the sixth year of Yechizqi Yah - in the ninth year of Hoshea sovereign of Yisra El Shomeron is captured:

³³ In rescuing, have any of the elohim of the goyim rescued a man his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur?

¹¹ behold, you heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur work to all lands by devoting them: - and you - rescued? ¹² Rescued the elohim of the goyim them whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden in Thelasar? ¹³ Where is the sovereign of Hamath and the sovereign of Arpad and the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim - of Hena and Avva?

¹⁶ and they splatter their sucklings in front of their eyes: plunder their houses and lie down with their women and rape. ¹⁷ Behold, I waken the Maday against them, who fabricate not silver; and as for gold, they delight not therein. ¹⁸ And their bows splatter the lads; and they neither mercy the fruit of the belly nor their eye spares sons.

³ and the fortress from Ephrayim shabbathizes with the sovereigndom from Dammeseq; and the survivors of Aram become as the honor of the sons of Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹
THE BURDEN OF GAY HIZZAYON
The burden of Gay Hizzayon/Valley of Vision: What ails you now - all of you that you ascend to the roofs? ² You, full of clamors, a roaring city, a city jumping for joy: your pierced are neither slain with the sword nor dead in war: ³ all your commanders flee together - bound by the bows: all those found in you, who flee from far, are bound together. ⁴ So I say, Look away from me: I am embittered in weeping; hasten not to sigh over me because of the ravage of the daughter of my people.

¹⁴ The sinners in Siyon fear; trembling holds the profaners. Who among us sojourns with the consuming fire? Who among us sojourns with eternal burnings?

¹⁴ and I shatter them, man against brother - even the fathers and the sons together - an oracle of Yah Veh: I neither compassion nor spare nor mercy - for their ruin.

⁴¹ Qerioth is captured, and the huntholds apprehended; and at that day, the hearts of the mighty in Moab become as the heart of a woman in her tribulating:

⁸ The lion roars, who awes not? Adonay Yah Veh words, who prophesies not?

⁵ And Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth is he who touches the land, and it melts, and all that settle therein mourn: and it all ascends as a river and drowns as the river of Misrayim.

¹⁰ Yet was she is exiled; she goes into captivity: even her sucklings splatter at the top of all the outways: and they handle pebbles for her honorable men and chain all her great in chains.

¹² All your fortresses are fig trees of the firstlings: if you shake, they fall into the mouth of the devourer.

¹⁰ And they ridicule sovereigns, and potentates are their laughingstock: they ridicule every fortress; for they heap dust and capture it.

¹⁴ And now Yah Veh words, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, the honor of Moab is abased, with all that great multitude; and the survivors little - few - not many.

⁹ and I desolate the bamahs of Yischaq and parch the holies of Yisra El; and I rise against the house of Yarob Am with the sword. ¹⁰ And Amas Yah the priest of Beth El sends to Yarob Am sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Amos conspires against you among the house of Yisra El: the land is not able to contain all his words. ¹¹ For Amos says thus: Yarob Am dies by the sword, and in exiling, Yisra El is exiled from their own soil. ¹² Also Amas Yah says to Amos, O you seer, go, flee into the land of Yah Hudah, and there eat bread, and there prophesy: ¹³ and add not to prophesy any more at Beth El: for it is the holies of the sovereigndom and it is the house of the sovereign. ¹⁴ Then Amos answers and says to Amas Yah, I am neither a prophet nor a son of a prophet; but I am a herdman and a pincher of sycomores: ¹⁵ and as I follow the flock, Yah Veh takes me and Yah Veh says to me, Go, prophesy to my people Yisra El. ¹⁶ And now, hear the word of Yah Veh: You say, Neither prophesy against Yisra El nor drip against the house of Yischaq. ¹⁷ So Yah Veh says thus: Your woman whores in the city and your sons and your daughters fall by the sword and your soil is allotted by line; and you die in a foul soil: and in exiling, Yisra El is exiled from his soil.

¹³
TWO NATURES UNDER THE TORAH
So has the good become my death? So be it not. But sin, manifest as sin, to work death in me through the good; so that through the misvah sin becomes exceeding sinful.
