5 What will you do in the solemn day, and in the day of
the moadim of vuvh?
6 For, see, they shall soon go because of destruction:
Mitzrayim shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury
them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall
possess them: thorns shall be in their tents.
7 The days of punishment have come, the days of
repayment have come; Yisrael shall know it: the navi is a
fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of your
iniquity, the hatred is great. 2958
8 The watchman of Efrayim was with my Elohim: 2959 but
the navi is a trap and a stumbling block in all his
halachot, hatred is in the bayit of his elohim. 2960
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days
of Givah: therefore He will remember their iniquity; He
will punish them for their sins.
10 I found Yisrael like grapes in the wilderness; I saw
your ahvot as the bikkurim in the fig eytz in the
beginning: but they went to Ba’al-Peor, and separated
themselves for his shame; and their abominations were a
result of their misplaced ahava. 2961
11 As for Efrayim, their tifereth shall fly away like a bird,
2962 they are cut off from birth, 2963 and from the womb,
and from conception. 2964
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I make
them childless, 2965 that there shall not be a man left: woe
to them when I depart from them! 2966
13 Efrayim, as I saw like Tzor, planted in a pleasant
place: 2967 but Efrayim shall bring forth his children to
the muderer. 2968
14 Give them, O vuvh: what will You give? Give them a
miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 2969
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated
them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them
out of My Bayit, I will love them no more: all their rulers
are rebels.
16 Efrayim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall
bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I kill
even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 My Elohim will cast them away, because they did not
listen to Him: and they shall be wanderers among the
nations. 2970
10
Yisrael is a degenerate 2971 empty vine, he brings
forth fruit to himself: 2972 according to the multitude of
his fruit 2973 he has increased the altars; the better his
land the better the pagan pillars they built.
2 Their lev is divided; 2974 now shall they be found guilty:
He shall break down their altars; He shall destroy their
pillars.
3 For now they shall say, We have no melech, because we
feared not vuvh; what then should a melech do for us?
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a
brit: 2975 therefore mishpat will spring up as poisoned
weeds in the furrows of the field.
5 The inhabitants of Shomron shall fear because of the
calf of Beth-Aven: for the people there shall mourn over
it, and also the Kohanim 2976 there who rejoiced over it,
for its former tifereth, because it has departed from it.
6 It shall be also carried to Ashshur for a present to
Melech Yarev: Efrayim shall receive shame, and Yisrael
shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 As for Shomron, her melech is cut off as the foam upon
HOSHEA - HOSEA
- 392 -
the mayim.
8 The high places of Aven, the sin of Yisrael, 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 Yisrael, you have sinned from the days of Givah:
there they stood: the battle in Givah against the children
of iniquity shall not overtake them.
10 It is in My desire that I should correct them; and
peoples shall be gathered against them, 2977 when I bind
them for their double guilt. 2978
11 And Efrayim is as a heifer that is being taught, and
loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her
fair neck: 2979 I will make Efrayim to ride; 2980 Yahudah
shall plow, 2981 and Yaakov shall break his
2982 2983
clods.
12 Sow to yourselves in tzedakah, reap in rachamim;
break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek vuvh,
until He comes and rains tzedakah upon you. 2984
13 You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped
iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did
trust in your own derech, in the multitudes of your mighty
men. 2985
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and
all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled
Beth-Arvel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in
pieces falling upon her children.
15 So shall Beth-El do to you because of your great
wickedness: in a morning shall the melech of Yisrael
utterly be cut off.
11
When Yisrael was a Child, then I loved Him, and
called My Son out of Mitzrayim. 2986
2 They called them, so they went out from them: they
sacrificed to Ba’alim, and burned incense to carved
images.
3 I taught Efrayim to walk, 2987 taking them by their
arms; but they knew not that I healed them. 2988
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with cords of ahava:
2989 and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on
their jaws, 2990 and I bent down to feed them. 2991
5 Let him then return into the land of Mitzrayim, and the
Ashurite shall be his melech, because they refused to
make teshuvah to Me.
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall
consume his branches, 2992 and devour them, because of
their own counsels.
7 And My people are committed to backslide from Me:
though they have called to El-Elyon, none would exalt
Him. 2993
8 How shall I give you up, Efrayim? How can I just hand
you over, Yisrael? 2994 How shall I make you as Admah?
How shall I set you as Zevoim? My lev churns within Me,
My rachamim are being lit for you.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of My full anger, I will
not return to destroy Efrayim: 2995 for I am El, and not
man; the Kadosh-One in the midst of you: and I will not
come to you in full enmity.
10 They shall have their halacha in vuvh: He shall roar
like a Lion: 2996 when He shall roar, 2997 then the
children of Yisrael 2998 shall tremble from the
west. 2999
11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Mitzrayim, and as a
