🎙️ Sermon 4: Honeyed Words

Date: 3/23/2024
Pastor: Rachel R. Wilson

Hebrew: “Pay heed unto me now theforefore, O ye banim, and attend to the word of my peh (mouth). Let not thine lev tun aside to her drakhim; go not astray in her Netivot (trodden paths). For she cast down many chalalim (wounded); indeed, many strong men have been slain by her. Her bias is the drakhei Sheol, going down to the chadraim (chambers, rooms) of mavet (death). [T/N. the off-stage character here in chapter cuckhold. Because of her Ba’al affair, Hashem became the cuckhold of Israel even as Hoshea became the cuckhold of Gomer.]

English: “Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth. Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray to her paths, for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army. Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.”
