Jotham Reigns in Judah
27 (A)Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord according to all that his father Uzziah had done, (B)except he did not enter the temple of the Lord. But the people still followed corrupt practices. 3 He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord and did much building on the wall of (C)Ophel. 4 Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills. 5 He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year 100 talents[a] of silver, and 10,000 cors[b] of wheat and 10,000 of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years. 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the Lord his God. 7 (D)Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was (E)twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

Judgment on Judah
4 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“For three transgressions of Judah,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (B)they have rejected the law of the Lord,
and have not kept his statutes,
but (C)their lies have led them astray,
those after which their fathers walked.
5 So (D)I will send a fire upon Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
(E)“For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (F)they sell the righteous for (G)silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
7 those who trample the head of the poor (H)into the dust of the earth
and (I)turn aside the way of the afflicted;
(J)a man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments (K)taken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
the wine of those who have been fined.
Hosea 12:1-2
English Standard Version
12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
and pursues (A)the east wind all day long;
they multiply (B)falsehood and violence;
(C)they make a covenant with Assyria,
and (D)oil is carried to Egypt.
The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah

Hosea 5:5-14
English Standard Version
5 (A)The pride of Israel testifies to his face;[a]
Israel and (B)Ephraim shall stumble in his guilt;
(C)Judah also shall stumble with them.
6 (D)With their flocks and herds they shall go
to seek the Lord,
(E)but they will not find him;
(F)he has withdrawn from them.
7 (G)They have dealt faithlessly with the Lord;
for they have borne alien children.
Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
8 (H)Blow the horn in (I)Gibeah,
the trumpet in (J)Ramah.
Sound the alarm at (K)Beth-aven;
we follow you,[b] O Benjamin!
9 Ephraim shall become a desolation
in the day of punishment;
among the tribes of Israel
I make known what is sure.
10 The princes of Judah have become
like (L)those who move the landmark;
upon them I will pour out
my wrath like water.
11 Ephraim is (M)oppressed, crushed in judgment,
because he was determined to go after filth.[c]
12 But I am (N)like a moth to Ephraim,
and (O)like dry rot to the house of Judah.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,
and Judah (P)his wound,
then Ephraim went (Q)to Assyria,
and sent to the great king.[d]
(R)But he is not able to cure you
or heal (S)your wound.
14 For I will be (T)like a lion to (U)Ephraim,
and like a young lion to the house of (V)Judah.
(W)I, even I, will tear and go away;
I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.
