Reign of Jotham
27 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.(A) 2 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord just as his father Uzziah had done—only he did not enter the temple of the Lord. But the people still followed corrupt practices.(B) 3 He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord and did extensive building on the wall of Ophel.(C) 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. The Ammonites gave him that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years. 6 So Jotham strengthened himself because he ordered his ways before the Lord his God.(D) 7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham and all his wars and his ways are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.(E) 8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.(F) 9 Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David, and his son Ahaz succeeded him.

Israel’s Guilt and Punishment
3 Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:(A)

of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.(B)

Judgment on Judah
4 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Judah,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord
and have not kept his statutes,
but they have been led astray by the same lies
after which their ancestors walked.(A)
5 So I will send a fire on Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.(B)
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[b]
because they sell the righteous for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals—(C)
7 they who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
and push the afflicted out of the way;
father and son go in to the same young woman,
so that my holy name is profaned;(D)
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge;
and in the house of their God they drink
wine bought with fines they imposed.(E)

Hosea 5:5-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Israel’s pride testifies against him;
Ephraim[a] stumbles in his guilt;
Judah also stumbles with them.(A)
6 With their flocks and herds they shall go
to seek the Lord,
but they will not find him;
he has withdrawn from them.(B)
7 They have dealt faithlessly with the Lord,
for they have borne illegitimate children.
Now the new moon shall devour them along with their fields.(C)
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah,
the trumpet in Ramah.
Sound the alarm at Beth-aven;
look behind you, Benjamin!(D)
9 Ephraim shall become a desolation
in the day of punishment;
among the tribes of Israel
I declare what is sure.(E)
10 The princes of Judah have become
like those who remove the landmark;
on them I will pour out
my wrath like water.(F)
11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,
because he was determined to go after vanity.[b]
12 Therefore I am like maggots to Ephraim
and like rottenness to the house of Judah.(G)
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah his wound,
then Ephraim went to Assyria
and sent to the great king.[c]
But he is not able to cure you
or heal your wound.(H)
14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear and go away;
I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.(I)
