Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. Hos 8:11Hos 12:11Isa 5:1-7Lev 26:1Php 2:211Ki 14:23Jer 2:28Rom 14:7-8
According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars.
As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
Their heart is divided. 1Ki 18:21Mic 5:13Jas 4:4Jas 1:8Luk 16:13Rev 3:15-16Zep 1:51Sa 5:4
Now they will be found guilty.
He will demolish their altars.
He will destroy their sacred stones.
Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear the LORD; Hos 10:15Hos 10:7Hos 13:11Gen 49:10Hos 3:4Jhn 19:15Mic 4:9Hos 11:5
and the king, what can he do for us?”
They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Amo 5:7Amo 6:12Hos 4:22Ki 17:3-4Deu 29:18Ezk 17:13-192Ti 3:3Act 8:23
Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven, Hos 9:112Ki 23:5Hos 5:8Hos 4:15Hos 8:5-61Sa 4:21-22Hos 13:22Ch 11:15
for its people will mourn over it,
along with its priests who rejoiced over it,
for its glory, because it has departed from it.
It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Hos 5:13Isa 30:3Jer 7:24Dan 11:82Ki 17:3Ezk 36:31Hos 11:5-6Hos 4:19
Ephraim will receive shame,
and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
Samaria and her king float away Hos 10:32Ki 1:3Jud 1:131Ki 21:12Ki 15:302Ki 17:4Hos 10:15Hos 13:11
like a twig on the water.
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. Rev 6:16Luk 23:30Isa 2:191Ki 12:28-30Amo 8:14Hos 9:6Isa 32:131Ki 13:2
The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars.
They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”
“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. Hos 9:9Jdg 20:5Jdg 19:22-30Gen 6:5Gen 8:21Jdg 20:13-14Jdg 20:17-48Mat 23:31-32
There they remained.
The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah.
When it is my desire, I will chastise them; Ezk 5:13Hos 4:9Jer 16:16Deu 28:63Ezk 16:37Ezk 16:42Ezk 23:46Ezk 23:9
and the nations will be gathered against them
when they are bound to their two transgressions.
Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, Hos 4:16Deu 25:4Jer 50:112Ch 28:5-8Hos 11:4Hos 2:5Hos 3:1Hos 9:1
so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck.
I will set a rider on Ephraim.
Judah will plow.
Jacob will break his clods.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, Jer 4:3-4Jas 3:18Isa 45:8Pro 11:18Isa 55:6Hos 6:3Jer 29:12-14Isa 44:3
reap according to kindness.
Break up your fallow ground,
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
You have plowed wickedness. Job 4:8Gal 6:7-8Pro 1:31Pro 22:8Hos 8:7Pro 18:20-21Psa 62:10Ecc 9:11
You have reaped iniquity.
You have eaten the fruit of lies,
for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, Hos 13:162Ki 18:9-10Hab 1:102Ki 17:162Ki 18:332Ki 19:11-13Amo 3:8Amo 9:5
and all your fortresses will be destroyed,
as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle.
The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. Hos 10:5Amo 7:9-17Hos 10:7Rom 7:13Hos 10:3Isa 16:14
At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
