In yesterday’s reading, Hosea bought back his wife from prostitution. And the Lord drew analogies in his speech to Israel.

Favorite verses:
5 The wise are mightier than the strong,a
and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.
6 So don’t go to war without wise guidance;
victory depends on having many advisers.
Translation note
30 I walked by the field of a lazy [man/person],
the vineyard of one with no common sense.

Yesterday we read the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, including the famous and memorizable Beatitudes. We have heard the first “You have heard it said.”
Translation note:
15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed [up] on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.
34 But I say, do not make any vows! Do not [swear/say], ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne.
35 And do not [swear/say], ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not [swear/say], ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King.
36 Do not even [swear/say], ‘By my [own] head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black.
43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and [people have added, “]hate your enemy.[”] 44But I say, love your enemies!s
