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.
