一﹑本週經文Scripture：何西阿書‬ ‭11‬:‭4‬、8 Hosea

4. 我用慈繩愛索牽引他們； 我待他們如人放鬆牛的兩腮夾板， 把糧食放在他們面前。
4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them.

‭8. 以法蓮哪，我怎能捨棄你？ 以色列啊，我怎能棄絕你？ 我怎能使你如押瑪？ 怎能使你如洗扁？ 我回心轉意， 我的憐愛大大發動。
‭‭8 “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboyim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.
