5:1 Yet the number[04557] of the children[01121] of Israel[03478] shall be as the sand[02344] of the sea[03220], which cannot be measured[04058][8735] nor numbered[05608][8735]; and it shall come to pass, that in the place[04725] where it was said[0559][8735] unto them, Ye are not my people[05971], there it shall be said[0559][8735] unto them, Ye are the sons[01121] of the living[02416] God[0410]. in...: or, instead of that
5:2 Then shall the children[01121] of Judah[03063] and the children[01121] of Israel[03478] be gathered[06908][8738] together[03162], and appoint[07760][8804] themselves one[0259] head[07218], and they shall come up[05927][8804] out of the land[0776]: for great[01419] shall be the day[03117] of Jezreel[03157].
5:3 Say[0559][8798] ye unto your brethren[0251], Ammi[05971]; and to your sisters[0269], Ruhamah[07355][8795]. Ammi: that is, My people Ruhamah: that is, Having obtained mercy
5:4 Plead[07378][8798] with your mother[0517], plead[07378][8798]: for she is not my wife[0802], neither am I her husband[0376]: let her therefore put away[05493][8686] her whoredoms[02183] out of her sight[06440], and her adulteries[05005] from between her breasts[07699];
5:5 Lest I strip[06584][8686] her naked[06174], and set[03322][8689] her as in the day[03117] that she was born[03205][8736], and make[07760][8804] her as a wilderness[04057], and set[07896][8804] her like a dry[06723] land[0776], and slay[04191][8689] her with thirst[06772].
5:6 And I will not have mercy[07355][8762] upon her children[01121]; for they be the children[01121] of whoredoms[02183].
5:7 For their mother[0517] hath played the harlot[02181][8804]: she that conceived[02029][8802] them hath done shamefully[03001][8689]: for she said[0559][8804], I will go[03212][8799] after[0310] my lovers[0157][8764], that give[05414][8802] me my bread[03899] and my water[04325], my wool[06785] and my flax[06593], mine oil[08081] and my drink[08250]. drink: Heb. drinks

5:9 And she shall follow[07291][8765] after her lovers[0157][8764], but she shall not overtake[05381][8686] them; and she shall seek[01245][8765] them, but shall not find[04672][8799] them : then shall she say[0559][8804], I will go[03212][8799] and return[07725][8799] to my first[07223] husband[0376]; for then was it better[02896] with me than now[06258].
5:10 For she did not know[03045][8804] that I gave[05414][8804] her corn[01715], and wine[08492], and oil[03323], and multiplied[07235][8689] her silver[03701] and gold[02091], which  they prepared[06213][8804] for Baal[01168]. wine: Heb. new wine which...: or, wherewith they made Baal
5:11 Therefore will I return[07725][8799], and take away[03947][8804] my corn[01715] in the time[06256] thereof, and my wine[08492] in the season[04150] thereof, and will recover[05337][8689] my wool[06785] and my flax[06593]  given to cover[03680][8763] her nakedness[06172]. recover: or, take away
5:12 And now will I discover[01540][8762] her lewdness[05040] in the sight[05869] of her lovers[0157][8764], and none[0376] shall deliver[05337][8686] her out of mine hand[03027]. lewdness: Heb. folly, or, villany
5:13 I will also cause all her mirth[04885] to cease[07673][8689], her feast days[02282], her new moons[02320], and her sabbaths[07676], and all her solemn feasts[04150].
5:14 And I will destroy[08074][8689] her vines[01612] and her fig trees[08384], whereof she hath said[0559][8804], These are my rewards[0866] that my lovers[0157][8764] have given[05414][8804] me: and I will make[07760][8804] them a forest[03293], and the beasts[02416] of the field[07704] shall eat[0398][8804] them. destroy: Heb. make desolate
5:15 And I will visit[06485][8804] upon her the days[03117] of Baalim[01168], wherein she burned incense[06999][8686] to them, and she decked[05710][8799] herself with her earrings[05141] and her jewels[02484], and she went[03212][8799] after[0310] her lovers[0157][8764], and forgat[07911][8804] me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
6:1 Therefore, behold, I will allure[06601][8764] her, and bring[03212][8689] her into the wilderness[04057], and speak[01696][8765] comfortably[03820] unto her. comfortably: or, friendly: Heb. to her heart
6:2 And I will give[05414][8804] her her vineyards[03754] from thence, and the valley[06010] of Achor[05911] for a door[06607] of hope[08615]: and she shall sing[06030][8804] there, as in the days[03117] of her youth[05271], and as in the day[03117] when she came up[05927][8800] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714].
6:3 And it shall be at that day[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that thou shalt call[07121][8799] me Ishi[0376]; and shalt call[07121][8799] me no more Baali[01180]. Ishi: that is, My husband Baali: that is, My lord
6:4 For I will take away[05493][8689] the names[08034] of Baalim[01168] out of her mouth[06310], and they shall no more be remembered[02142][8735] by their name[08034].
6:5 And in that day[03117] will I make[03772][8804] a covenant[01285] for them with the beasts[02416] of the field[07704], and with the fowls[05775] of heaven[08064], and with the creeping things[07431] of the ground[0127]: and I will break[07665][8799] the bow[07198] and the sword[02719] and the battle[04421] out of the earth[0776], and will make them to lie down[07901][8689] safely[0983].
6:6 And I will betroth[0781][8765] thee unto me for ever[05769]; yea, I will betroth[0781][8765] thee unto me in righteousness[06664], and in judgment[04941], and in lovingkindness[02617], and in mercies[07356].
6:7 I will even betroth[0781][8765] thee unto me in faithfulness[0530]: and thou shalt know[03045][8804] the LORD[03068].
6:8 And it shall come to pass in that day[03117], I will hear[06030][8799], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], I will hear[06030][8799] the heavens[08064], and they shall hear[06030][8799] the earth[0776];
6:9 And the earth[0776] shall hear[06030][8799] the corn[01715], and the wine[08492], and the oil[03323]; and they shall hear[06030][8799] Jezreel[03157].
6:10 And I will sow[02232][8804] her unto me in the earth[0776]; and I will have mercy[07355][8765] upon her that had not obtained mercy[07355][8795][8677][03818]; and I will say[0559][8804] to them which were not my people[05971], Thou art my people[05971]; and they shall say[0559][8799], Thou art my God[0430].
6:11 Then said[0559][8799] the LORD[03068] unto me, Go[03212][8798] yet, love[0157][8798] a woman[0802] beloved[0157][8803] of her friend[07453], yet an adulteress[05003][8764], according to the love[0160] of the LORD[03068] toward the children[01121] of Israel[03478], who look[06437][8802] to other[0312] gods[0430], and love[0157][8802] flagons[0809] of wine[06025]. of wine: Heb. of grapes
7:1 So I bought[03739][8799] her to me for fifteen[06240][02568] pieces of silver[03701], and for an homer[02563] of barley[08184], and an half homer[03963] of barley[08184]: half...: Heb. lethech
7:2 And I said[0559][8799] unto her, Thou shalt abide[03427][8799] for me many[07227] days[03117]; thou shalt not play the harlot[02181][8799], and thou shalt not be[01961][8799] for another man[0376]: so will I also be for thee.
7:3 For the children[01121] of Israel[03478] shall abide[03427][8799] many[07227] days[03117] without a king[04428], and without a prince[08269], and without a sacrifice[02077], and without an image[04676], and without an ephod[0646], and without teraphim[08655]: image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar
7:4 Afterward[0310] shall the children[01121] of Israel[03478] return[07725][8799], and seek[01245][8765] the LORD[03068] their God[0430], and David[01732] their king[04428]; and shall fear[06342][8804] the LORD[03068] and his goodness[02898] in the latter[0319] days[03117].
7:5 Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], ye children[01121] of Israel[03478]: for the LORD[03068] hath a controversy[07379] with the inhabitants[03427][8802] of the land[0776], because there is no truth[0571], nor mercy[02617], nor knowledge[01847] of God[0430] in the land[0776].
7:6 By swearing[0422][8800], and lying[03584][8763], and killing[07523][8800], and stealing[01589][8800], and committing adultery[05003][8800], they break out[06555][8804], and blood[01818] toucheth[05060][8804] blood[01818]. blood: Heb. bloods
7:7 Therefore shall the land[0776] mourn[056][8799], and every one that dwelleth[03427][8802] therein shall languish[0535][8797], with the beasts[02416] of the field[07704], and with the fowls[05775] of heaven[08064]; yea, the fishes[01709] of the sea[03220] also shall be taken away[0622][8735].
7:8 Yet let no man[0376] strive[07378][8799], nor reprove[03198][8686] another[0376]: for thy people[05971] are as they that strive[07378][8688] with the priest[03548].
7:9 Therefore shalt thou fall[03782][8804] in the day[03117], and the prophet[05030] also shall fall[03782][8804] with thee in the night[03915], and I will destroy[01820][8804] thy mother[0517]. destroy: Heb. cut off
7:10 My people[05971] are destroyed[01820][8738] for lack of knowledge[01847]: because thou hast rejected[03988][8804] knowledge[01847], I will also reject[03988][8799] thee, that thou shalt be no priest[03547][8763] to me: seeing thou hast forgotten[07911][8799] the law[08451] of thy God[0430], I will also forget[07911][8799] thy children[01121]. destroyed: Heb. cut off
7:11 As they were increased[07230], so they sinned[02398][8804] against me: therefore will I change[04171][8686] their glory[03519] into shame[07036].
7:12 They eat up[0398][8799] the sin[02403] of my people[05971], and they set[05375][8799] their heart[05315] on their iniquity[05771]. set...: Heb. lift up their soul to
7:13 And there shall be, like people[05971], like priest[03548]: and I will punish[06485][8804] them for their ways[01870], and reward[07725][8686] them their doings[04611]. punish: Heb. visit upon reward: Heb. cause to return
7:14 For they shall eat[0398][8804], and not have enough[07646][8799]: they shall commit whoredom[02181][8689], and shall not increase[06555][8799]: because they have left off[05800][8804] to take heed[08104][8800] to the LORD[03068].
7:15 Whoredom[02184] and wine[03196] and new wine[08492] take away[03947][8799] the heart[03820].
7:16 My people[05971] ask[07592][8799] counsel at their stocks[06086], and their staff[04731] declareth[05046][8686] unto them: for the spirit[07307] of whoredoms[02183] hath caused them to err[08582][8689], and they have gone a whoring[02181][8799] from under their God[0430].
8:1 They sacrifice[02076][8762] upon the tops[07218] of the mountains[02022], and burn incense[06999][8762] upon the hills[01389], under oaks[0437] and poplars[03839] and elms[0424], because the shadow[06738] thereof is  good[02896]: therefore your daughters[01323] shall commit whoredom[02181][8799], and your spouses[03618] shall commit adultery[05003][8762].
8:2 I will not punish[06485][8799] your daughters[01323] when they commit whoredom[02181][8799], nor your spouses[03618] when they commit adultery[05003][8762]: for themselves are separated[06504][8762] with whores[02181][8802], and they sacrifice[02076][8762] with harlots[06948]: therefore the people[05971] that doth not understand[0995][8799] shall fall[03832][8735]. I will not: or, Shall I not fall: or, be punished
8:3 Though thou, Israel[03478], play the harlot[02181][8802], yet let not Judah[03063] offend[0816][8799]; and come[0935][8799] not ye unto Gilgal[01537], neither go ye up[05927][8799] to Bethaven[01007], nor swear[07650][8735], The LORD[03068] liveth[02416].
8:4 For Israel[03478] slideth back[05637][8804] as a backsliding[05637][8802] heifer[06510]: now the LORD[03068] will feed[07462][8799] them as a lamb[03532] in a large place[04800].
8:5 Ephraim[0669] is joined[02266][8803] to idols[06091]: let him alone[03240][8685].
8:6 Their drink[05435] is sour[05493][8804]: they have committed whoredom[02181][8689] continually[02181][8687]: her rulers[04043] with shame[07036] do love[0157][8804], Give[03051][8798] ye. sour: Heb. gone rulers: Heb. shields
8:7 The wind[07307] hath bound her up[06887][8804] in her wings[03671], and they shall be ashamed[0954][8799] because of their sacrifices[02077].
8:8 Hear[08085][8798] ye this, O priests[03548]; and hearken[07181][8685], ye house[01004] of Israel[03478]; and give ye ear[0238][8685], O house[01004] of the king[04428]; for judgment[04941] is toward you, because ye have been a snare[06341] on Mizpah[04709], and a net[07568] spread[06566][8803] upon Tabor[08396].
8:9 And the revolters[07846] are profound[06009][8689] to make slaughter[07819][8800], though I have been a rebuker[04148] of them all. though: or, and a rebuker: Heb. a correction
8:10 I know[03045][8804] Ephraim[0669], and Israel[03478] is not hid[03582][8738] from me: for now, O Ephraim[0669], thou committest whoredom[02181][8689], and Israel[03478] is defiled[02930][8738].
8:11 They will not frame[05414][8799] their doings[04611] to turn[07725][8800] unto their God[0430]: for the spirit[07307] of whoredoms[02183] is in the midst[07130] of them, and they have not known[03045][8804] the LORD[03068]. They will...: or, Their doings will not suffer them frame: Heb. give
8:12 And the pride[01347] of Israel[03478] doth testify[06030][8804] to his face[06440]: therefore shall Israel[03478] and Ephraim[0669] fall[03782][8735] in their iniquity[05771]; Judah[03063] also shall fall[03782][8804] with them.
8:13 They shall go[03212][8799] with their flocks[06629] and with their herds[01241] to seek[01245][8763] the LORD[03068]; but they shall not find[04672][8799] him ; he hath withdrawn[02502][8804] himself from them.
8:14 They have dealt treacherously[0898][8804] against the LORD[03068]: for they have begotten[03205][8804] strange[02114][8801] children[01121]: now shall a month[02320] devour[0398][8799] them with their portions[02506].
9:1 Blow[08628][8798] ye the cornet[07782] in Gibeah[01390], and the trumpet[02689] in Ramah[07414]: cry aloud[07321][8685] at Bethaven[01007], after[0310] thee, O Benjamin[01144].
9:2 Ephraim[0669] shall be desolate[08047] in the day[03117] of rebuke[08433]: among the tribes[07626] of Israel[03478] have I made known[03045][8689] that which shall surely be[0539][8737].
9:3 The princes[08269] of Judah[03063] were like them that remove[05253][8688] the bound[01366]: therefore I will pour out[08210][8799] my wrath[05678] upon them like water[04325].
9:4 Ephraim[0669] is oppressed[06231][8803] and broken[07533][8803] in judgment[04941], because he willingly[02974][8689] walked[01980][8804] after[0310] the commandment[06673].
9:5 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim[0669] as a moth[06211], and to the house[01004] of Judah[03063] as rottenness[07538]. rottenness: or, a worm
9:6 When Ephraim[0669] saw[07200][8799] his sickness[02483], and Judah[03063] saw his wound[04205], then went[03212][8799] Ephraim[0669] to the Assyrian[0804], and sent[07971][8799] to king[04428] Jareb[03377][8677][07378][8799]: yet could[03201][8799] he not heal[07495][8800] you, nor cure[01455][8799] you of your wound[04205]. king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead
9:7 For I will be unto Ephraim[0669] as a lion[07826], and as a young lion[03715] to the house[01004] of Judah[03063]: I, even I, will tear[02963][8799] and go away[03212][8799]; I will take away[05375][8799], and none shall rescue[05337][8688] him .
9:8 I will go[03212][8799] and return[07725][8799] to my place[04725], till they acknowledge their offence[0816][8799], and seek[01245][8765] my face[06440]: in their affliction[06862] they will seek me early[07836][8762]. acknowledge...: Heb. be guilty

14:4 Sow[02232][8798] to yourselves in righteousness[06666], reap[07114][8798] in[06310] mercy[02617]; break up[05214][8798] your fallow ground[05215]: for it is time[06256] to seek[01875][8800] the LORD[03068], till he come[0935][8799] and rain[03384][8686] righteousness[06664] upon you.
14:5 Ye have plowed[02790][8804] wickedness[07562], ye have reaped[07114][8804] iniquity[05766]; ye have eaten[0398][8804] the fruit[06529] of lies[03585]: because thou didst trust[0982][8804] in thy way[01870], in the multitude[07230] of thy mighty men[01368].
14:6 Therefore shall a tumult[07588] arise[06965][8804] among thy people[05971], and all thy fortresses[04013] shall be spoiled[07703][8714], as Shalman[08020] spoiled[07701] Betharbel[01009] in the day[03117] of battle[04421]: the mother[0517] was dashed in pieces[07376][8795] upon her children[01121].
