Hosea 13
11 I gave you a king in My anger And took him away in My wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; His sin is stored up.
13 The pains of childbirth come upon him; He is not a wise son, For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.
14 Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from death? O Death, where are your thorns? O Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion will be hidden from My sight.
15 Though he flourishes among the reeds, An east wind will come, The wind of the Lord coming up from the wilderness; And his fountain will become dry And his spring will be dried up; It will plunder his treasury of every precious article.
16 Samaria will be held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open.
Hosea 14
1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
2 Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to Him, "Take away all iniquity And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips.
3 "Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, ’Our god,’ To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy."
4 I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel; He will blossom like the lily, And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
