A
Plea for this Day
My
fellow American citizens, and brethren;
Give
ear to the word of God as spoken by the prophet Hosea unto the
children of Israel. And apply them to our own nation. My friends, I
implore and beseech you to please consider them upon your heart and
meditate upon them, whilst going through your day. - Doktor Riktor
Von Zhades, humble servant of Christ

Return, O Israel, unto HaShem thy God; for thou hast stumbled in
thine iniquity. 3 Take with you words, and return unto HaShem; say
unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so
will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips. 4 Asshur shall
not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we call any
more the work of our hands our gods; for in Thee the fatherless
findeth mercy.' 5 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them
freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him. 6 I will be as the
dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his
roots as Lebanon. 7 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall
be as the olive-tree, and his fragrance as Lebanon. 8 They that dwell
under his shadow shall again make corn to grow, and shall blossom as
the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Ephraim
shall say: 'What have I to do any more with idols?' 9 As for Me, I
respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; from Me is
thy fruit found. 10 Whoso is wise, let him understand these things,
whoso is prudent, let him know them. For the ways of HaShem are
right, and the just do walk in them; but transgressors do stumble
therein. Hosea 14:2-10
