They will go after Adonai

Hosea 11

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
11 “When Isra’el was a child, I loved him;
and out of Egypt I called my son.
But the more [the prophets] called them,
the farther they went from them.
They sacrificed to the ba‘alim
and offered incense to idols.
“Yet it was I who taught Efrayim to walk;
I took them by their arms.
But they did not know that it was I
who was healing them,
who was guiding them on through human means
with reins made of love.
With them I was like someone removing
the yoke from their jaws,
and I bent down to feed them.
He will not return to the land of Egypt,
but Ashur will be his king,
because they refused to repent.
The sword will fall on his cities,
destroying the bars of his gates,
because they follow their own advice.
My people are hanging in suspense
about returning to me;
and though they call them upwards,
nobody makes a move.
Efrayim, how can I give you up,
or surrender you, Isra’el?
How could I treat you like Admah
or make you like Tzvoyim?
My heart recoils at the idea,
as compassion warms within me.
I will not give vent to the fierceness of my rage,
I will not return to destroy Efrayim;
for I am God, not a human being,
the Holy One among you;
so I will not come in fury.
10 They will go after Adonai,
who will roar like a lion;
for he will roar, and the children will come
trembling from the west.
11 They will tremble like a bird as they come from Egypt,
like a dove as they come from the land of Ashur;
and I will resettle them in their own houses,
says Adonai.

Dearest, 依然思念,依然回顾和前瞻!

  Dearest friend:你回了天家已经560天,地上依然有思念,有等候和盼望天上重逢那日! 今天 读诗篇37 ,许多感触和勉励。 这诗篇是你在世时所喜悦朗读的,画上密密麻麻的红圈和蓝圈,你写道:“完全好的结局!” 在此我们再次朗读一些句子——关于神的义人(在基督里的人)...
