Hosea 2:9-14

9Therefore fI will take back
my grain in its time,
and my wine in its season,
and gI will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
10Now hI will uncover her lewdness
in the sight of her lovers,
and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11 iAnd I will put an end to all her mirth,
her feasts, her jnew moons, her kSabbaths,
and all her lappointed feasts.
12And mI will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
nof which she said,
‘These are omy wages,
which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
pand the beasts of the field shall devour them.
13And qI will punish her for rthe feast days of the Baals
when she burned offerings to them
and sadorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
and went after her lovers
and forgot me, declares the Lord.

The Lord’s Mercy on Israel

14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and tbring her into the wilderness,
and uspeak tenderly to her.

Amos 8:9-12

9 “And on that day,” declares the Lord God,
v“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10 wI will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into lamentation;
xI will bring sackcloth on every waist
yand baldness on every head;
zI will make it like the mourning for an only son
and the end of it like a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“when aaI will send a famine on the land
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
abbut of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 acThey shall wander from sea to sea,
and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
adbut they shall not find it.
