Jude Sun Jun 09, 2019 12:19 pm

7“And she shall pursue her lovers but not overtake them, and shall seek them but not find them. Then she shall say, ‘Let me go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’

8“And she did not acknowledge that I gave her grain, and new wine, and oil, and increased her silver and gold which they prepared for Ba‛al.

9“Therefore I shall turn back and shall take my grain in its time and My new wine in its season, and I shall take away My wool and My linen covering her nakedness.

10“And now I shall uncover her shame before the eyes of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her from My hand.

11“And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease,

12and lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, ‘these are my rewards that my lovers have given me.’ And I shall make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. HOSEA 2:7-12 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.

8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.

10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. HOSEA 2:7-12 King James Version - KJV

7 Though she follow after her lovers, yet shall she not come at them: though she seek them, yet shall she not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband: for at that time was I better than now.

8 Now she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they bestowed upon Baal.

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax lent, to cover her shame.

10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no man shall deliver her out of mine hand.

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them as a forest, and the wild beasts shall eat them. HOSEA 2:7-12 Geneva Bible 1599 – GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahusha Messiah (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS

1Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting.

2Who does relate the mighty acts of יהוה? Or declare all His praise?

3Blessed are those who guard right-ruling, Who do righteousness at all times!

4Remember me, O יהוה, in the acceptance of Your people; Visit me with Your deliverance,

5To see the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, To make my boast with Your inheritance.

6We have sinned with our fathers, We have acted perversely, We have done wrong.

7Our fathers in Mitsrayim did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your many kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, the Sea of Reeds.

8But He saved them for His Name’s sake, To make known His might.

9And He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up; And He led them through the depths, Through a wilderness.

10And He saved them from the hand of the hater, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11And waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.

12Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.

13They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

14But greedily lusted in the wilderness, And tried Ěl in the desert.

15And He gave them their request, But sent leanness within their being.

16And they were jealous of Mosheh in the camp, Of Aharon, the set-apart one of יהוה,

17Then the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, And covered the company of Aḇiram.

18And a fire burned in their company; A flame consumed the wrong.

19They made a calf in Ḥorĕḇ, And bowed down to a moulded image.

20Thus they changed My esteem Into the form of an ox that eats grass.

21They forgot Ěl their Saviour, The Doer of great deeds in Mitsrayim,

22Of wonders in the land of Ḥam, Of awesome deeds by the Sea of Reeds.

23Then He said that He would destroy them, Had not Mosheh His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

24They then despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word,

25And they grumbled in their tents, They did not listen to the voice of יהוה.

26So He lifted up His hand in an oath against them, To make them fall in the wilderness,

27And to make their seed fall among the gentiles, And to scatter them in the lands.

28And they joined themselves to Ba‛al Pe‛or, And ate slaughterings made to the dead.

29Thus they provoked Him with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.

30Then Pineḥas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped.

31And that was reckoned to him for righteousness To all generations forever.

32And they provoked wrath at the waters of Meriḇah, And Mosheh suffered on account of them;

33Because they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.

34They did not destroy the peoples, As יהוה had commanded them,

35But mixed with the gentiles And learned their works,

36And served their idols, And they became a snare to them.

37And they slaughtered their sons And their daughters to demons,

38And they shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they offered to the idols of Kena‛an; And the land was defiled with blood.

39So they became unclean by their own works, And went whoring by their own deeds.

40And the wrath of יהוה burned against His people, And He loathed His own inheritance.

41Then He gave them into the hand of the gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them.

42And their enemies oppressed them, And they were humbled under their hand.

43Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their plans, So they were brought low for their crookedness.

44But He would look on their distress, When He heard their cry,

45And remember His covenant for their sake, And relent according to the greatness of His kindness.

46And He would let them find compassion, Before all those holding them captive.

47Save us, O יהוה our Elohim, And gather us from among the gentiles, To give thanks to Your set-apart Name, To exult in Your praise.

48Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people shall say, “Amĕn!” Praise Yah! PSALM 106 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
