Lexicon :: Strong's H157 - 'āhaḇ

“Also the foreigners ^H1121 H5236 who join ^H3867 themselves to Yahweh ^H3068,

To minister ^H8334 to Him, and to love ^H157 the name ^H8034 of Yahweh ^H3068,

To be His [fn]slaves ^H5650, every ^H3605 one ^H3605 who keeps ^H8104 from profaning ^H2490 the sabbath ^H7676

And takes ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of My covenant ^H1285,

His watchmen ^H6822 are blind ^H5787;

All ^H3605 of them know ^H3045 nothing ^H3808.

All ^H3605 of them are mute ^H483 dogs ^H3611 unable ^H3808 H3201 to bark ^H5024,

[fn]Dreamers ^H1957 lying ^H7901 down ^H7901, who love ^H157 to slumber ^H5123;

“Behind ^H310 the door ^H1817 and the doorpost ^H4201

You have set ^H7760 up ^H7760 your memorial ^H2146;

Indeed ^H3588, far removed ^H4480 from Me, you have uncovered ^H1540 yourself,

And have gone ^H5927 up ^H5927 and made ^H7337 your bed ^H4904 wide ^H7337,

And you have cut ^H3772 a covenant for yourself with them;

You have loved ^H157 their [fn]bed ^H4904;

You have looked ^H2372 on their [fn]manhood ^H3027.

For I, Yahweh ^H3068, love ^H157 justice ^H4941,

I hate ^H8130 robbery ^H1498 [fn]in the burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930;

And in truth ^H571 I will give ^H5414 them their recompense ^H6468

And cut ^H3772 an everlasting ^H5769 covenant ^H1285 with them.

“Be ^H8055 glad ^H8055 with Jerusalem ^H3389 and rejoice ^H1523 for her, all ^H3605 you who love ^H157 her;

Be exceedingly ^H4885 joyful ^H7797 with her, all ^H3605 you who mourn ^H56 over ^H5921 her,

“Keep ^H4513 your feet ^H7272 from being barefoot ^H3182

And your throat ^H1627 from ^H4513 H4480 thirst ^H6773;

But you said ^H559, ‘It is [fn]hopeless ^H2976!

No ^H3808! For I have loved ^H157 strangers ^H2114,

And after ^H310 them I will walk ^H1980.’

The prophets ^H5030 prophesy ^H5012 with lying ^H8267,

And the priests ^H3548 have dominion ^H7287 [fn]by their own hand ^H3027;

And My people ^H5971 love ^H157 it so ^H3651!

But what ^H4100 will you do ^H6213 at the end ^H319 of it?

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 to this ^H2088 people ^H5971, “Even so ^H3651 they have loved ^H157 to wander ^H5128; they have not kept ^H2820 their feet ^H7272 in check ^H2820. Therefore Yahweh ^H3068 does not accept ^H7521 them; now ^H6258 He will remember ^H2142 their iniquity ^H5771 and punish ^H6485 their sins ^H2403.”

“Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Lebanon ^H3844 and cry ^H6817 out ^H6817,

And lift ^H5414 up ^H5414 your voice ^H6963 in Bashan ^H1316;

Cry ^H6817 out ^H6817 also from Abarim ^H5682,

For all ^H3605 your lovers ^H157 have been broken ^H7665.

“The wind ^H7307 will sweep ^H7462 away ^H7462 all ^H3605 your shepherds ^H7462,

And your lovers ^H157 will go ^H1980 into captivity ^H7628;

Then ^H227 you will surely ^H3588 be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 and feel ^H3637 dishonor ^H3637

Because ^H4480 of all ^H3605 your evil ^H7451.

‘All ^H3605 your lovers ^H157 have forgotten ^H7911 you;

They do not seek ^H1875 you;

For I have [fn]wounded ^H5221 you with the wound ^H4347 of an enemy ^H340,

With the punishment ^H4148 of a cruel ^H394 one ^H394,

Because ^H5921 your iniquity ^H5771 is numerous ^H7230

And your sins ^H2403 are ^H6105 mighty ^H6105.

Yahweh ^H3068 appeared ^H7200 to [fn]him from afar ^H7350, saying,

“I have loved ^H157 you with an everlasting ^H5769 love ^H160;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I have drawn ^H4900 you with lovingkindness ^H2617.

Beth

She weeps ^H1058 bitterly ^H1058 in the night ^H3915,

And her tears ^H1832 are on her cheeks ^H3895;

She has ^H369 none ^H369 to comfort ^H5162 her

Among ^H4480 all ^H3605 her lovers ^H157.

All ^H3605 her friends ^H7453 have dealt ^H898 treacherously ^H898 with her;

They have become ^H1961 her enemies ^H340.

Qoph

“I called ^H7121 to my lovers ^H157, but they deceived ^H7411 me;

My priests ^H3548 and my elders ^H2205 breathed ^H1478 their last ^H1478 in the city ^H5892

While ^H3588 they sought ^H1245 food ^H400 for themselves in order to restore ^H7725 their souls ^H5315.

“Oholah ^H170 played ^H2181 the ^H2181 harlot ^H2181 [fn]while ^H8478 she was Mine ^H8478; and she lusted ^H5689 after ^H5921 her lovers ^H157, after ^H413 the Assyrians ^H804, her neighbors ^H7138,

“Therefore ^H3651, O Oholibah ^H172, thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘Behold ^H2009, I will arouse ^H5782 your lovers ^H157 against ^H5921 you, those with whom ^H834 your soul ^H5315 was disgusted ^H5361, and I will bring ^H935 them against ^H5921 you from every ^H5439 side ^H5439:

“For their mother ^H517 has played ^H2181 the ^H2181 harlot ^H2181;

She who conceived ^H2029 them has acted ^H954 shamefully ^H954.

For she said ^H559, ‘I will go ^H1980 after ^H310 my lovers ^H157,

Who give ^H5414 me my bread ^H3899 and my water ^H4325,

My wool ^H6785 and my flax ^H6593, my oil ^H8081 and my drink ^H8250.’

“So she will pursue ^H7291 her lovers ^H157, but she will not overtake ^H5381 them;

And she will seek ^H1245 them, but will not find ^H4672 them.

Then she will say ^H559, ‘I will go ^H1980, and I will return ^H7725 to my first ^H7223 husband ^H376,

For it was better ^H2896 for me then ^H227 than ^H4480 now ^H6258!’

“So now ^H6258 I will uncover ^H1540 her lewdness ^H5040

In the sight ^H5869 of her lovers ^H157,

And no ^H3808 one ^H376 will deliver ^H5337 her out ^H5337 of My hand ^H3027.

“And I will make ^H8074 desolate ^H8074 her vines ^H1612 and fig ^H8384 trees ^H8384,

Of which ^H834 she said ^H559, ‘These ^H1992 are my wages ^H866

Which ^H834 my lovers ^H157 have given ^H5414 me.’

And I will make ^H7760 them a forest ^H3293,

And the beasts ^H2416 of the field ^H7704 will devour ^H398 them.

Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Go ^H1980 again ^H5750, love ^H157 a [fn]woman ^H802 who is loved ^H157 by her companion ^H7453 and is an adulteress ^H5003, even as Yahweh ^H3068 loves ^H157 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, though they turn ^H6437 to other ^H312 gods ^H430 and love ^H157 raisin ^H809 H6025 cakes ^H809.”

Their drink ^H5435 gone ^H5493;

They play ^H2181 the ^H2181 harlot ^H2181 continually ^H2181;

Their [fn]rulers ^H4043 dearly ^H157 love ^H157 disgrace ^H7036.

Do not be glad ^H8055, O Israel ^H3478, [fn]with rejoicing ^H1524 like the peoples ^H5971!

For you have played ^H2181 the ^H2181 harlot ^H2181, [fn]forsaking ^H4480 H5921 your God ^H430.

You have loved ^H157 harlots’ earnings ^H868 on [fn]every ^H3605 threshing ^H1637 floor ^H1637.

I found ^H4672 Israel ^H3478 like grapes ^H6025 in the wilderness ^H4057;

I saw ^H7200 your fathers ^H1 as the earliest ^H1063 fruit ^H1063 on the fig ^H8384 tree ^H8384 in its first ^H7225 season.

But they came ^H935 to Baal-peor ^H1187 and devoted ^H5144 themselves to [fn]shame ^H1322,

And they became ^H1961 as detestable ^H8251 as that which ^H159 they loved ^H157.

And Ephraim ^H669 is a trained ^H3925 heifer ^H5697 that loves ^H157 to thresh ^H1758,

But I will come ^H5674 over ^H5921 her fair ^H2898 neck ^H6677 with a yoke;

I will harness ^H7392 Ephraim ^H669;

Judah ^H3063 will plow ^H2790; Jacob ^H3290 will harrow ^H7702 for himself.

When ^H3588 Israel ^H3478 was a youth ^H5288 I loved ^H157 him,

And out of Egypt ^H4714 I called ^H7121 My son ^H1121.

A [fn]merchant ^H3669, in whose hands ^H3027 are deceptive ^H4820 balances ^H3976,

He loves ^H157 to oppress ^H6231.

I will heal ^H7495 their turning ^H4878 away from Me;

I will love ^H157 them freely ^H5071,

For My anger ^H639 has turned ^H7725 away ^H7725 from them.

“[fn]And offer ^H6999 a thank ^H8426 offering ^H8426 also from that which is leavened ^H2557,

And call ^H7121 for freewill ^H5071 offerings ^H5071; cause ^H8085 them to ^H8085 be ^H8085 heard ^H8085 about.

For so ^H3651 you love ^H157 to do, you sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478,”

Declares ^H5002 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068.

Hate ^H8130 evil ^H7451, love ^H157 good ^H2896,

And set ^H3322 justice ^H4941 at the [fn]gate ^H8179!

Perhaps ^H194 Yahweh ^H3068 God ^H430 of hosts ^H6635

May be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to the remnant ^H7611 of Joseph ^H3130.

“You who hate ^H8130 good ^H2896 and love ^H157 evil ^H7451,

Who tear ^H1497 off ^H1497 their skin ^H5785 from them

And their flesh ^H7607 from their bones ^H6106,

He has told ^H5046 you, O man ^H120, what ^H4100 is good ^H2896;

And what ^H4100 does Yahweh ^H3068 require ^H1875 of you

But to do ^H6213 justice ^H4941, to love ^H157 lovingkindness ^H2617,

And to walk ^H1980 [fn]humbly ^H6800 with your God ^H430?

“I have loved ^H157 you,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068. But you say ^H559, “How ^H4100 have You loved ^H157 us?” “Was not Esau ^H6215 Jacob’s ^H3290 brother ^H251?” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068. “Yet I have loved ^H157 Jacob ^H3290;
