Israel Will Reap the Whirlwind
Put the ram’s horn to your lips! Hos 6:7Deu 28:49Jer 4:13Hos 5:8Hab 1:8Heb 8:8-131Co 15:522Ki 18:27
An eagle looms over the house of the LORD,
because the people have transgressed My covenant
and rebelled against My law.
Israel cries out to Me, Mat 7:21Tit 1:161Jn 2:42Ki 10:162Ki 10:29Hos 7:13-14Isa 48:1-2Jer 7:4
“O our God, we know You!”
But Israel has rejected good; Lam 3:66Psa 81:10-11Amo 1:111Ti 5:12Deu 28:25Lam 4:19Lev 26:36Psa 36:3
an enemy will pursue him.
They set up kings, but not by Me. Hos 13:9-102Ki 15:10-301Ki 12:16-201Ki 16:31Hos 13:2Hos 2:8Jhn 10:141Ki 12:28
They make princes, but without My approval.
With their silver and gold they make themselves idols,
to their own destruction.
He has rejected your calf, 1 O Samaria. Hos 10:5Jer 13:27Pro 1:222Ki 17:16-182Ki 17:21-23Act 7:41Deu 32:22Hos 8:6
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be
incapable of innocence?
For this thing is from Israel— Hab 2:18Isa 44:9-20Jer 10:14Jer 10:3-9Psa 106:19-20Psa 115:4-82Ch 31:12Ch 34:6-7
a craftsman made it, and it is not God.
It will be broken to pieces,
that calf of Samaria.
For they sow the wind, Pro 22:8Job 4:8Gal 6:7Nam 1:3Hos 10:12-13Hos 7:9Jdg 6:3-6Hos 2:9
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
There is no standing grain;
what sprouts fails to yield flour.
Even if it should produce,
the foreigners would swallow it up.
Israel is swallowed up! Jer 22:28Jer 51:342Ti 2:20-212Ki 17:1-62Ki 18:11Deu 28:25Deu 28:64Ezk 36:3
Now they are among the nations
like a worthless vessel.
For they have gone up to Assyria Jer 2:24Ezk 16:33-34Hos 5:13Hos 7:112Ki 15:19Isa 30:6Ezk 23:5-9Hos 12:1
like a wild donkey on its own.
Ephraim 2has hired lovers.
Though they hire allies among the nations, Ezk 16:37Ezk 26:7Ezk 23:22-26Hag 2:6Hos 10:10Isa 10:8Jer 42:21Ch 5:26
I will now round them up,
and they will begin to diminish
under the oppression of the king of princes.
Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, Hos 12:11Deu 4:28Isa 10:10-11Hos 10:1-2Hos 10:8Jer 16:13
they became his altars for sinning.
Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, Deu 4:6-8Rom 7:122Ki 17:15-16Ezk 20:11Hos 4:6Isa 30:9Jer 6:16-17Neh 9:13-14
they regarded them as something strange.
Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, Hos 9:6Hos 9:9Amo 5:22Amo 8:7Deu 28:68Exo 20:3Hos 11:5Hos 5:6
and though they eat the meat,
the LORD does not accept them.
Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins:
They will return to Egypt.
Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Deu 32:18Jer 17:27Amo 2:5Hos 13:6Isa 17:10Amo 1:10Eph 2:10Jer 2:32
Judah has multiplied its fortified cities.
But I will send fire upon their cities,
and it will consume their citadels.
