Va Yetse -Weekly Hafttarah/Torah Portions
Va Yetze ("And he went out")
Today I am going to look at the weekly Torah portions using the Common English Bible. I will focus today on the Halftarah which is basically the book of prophets.
Torah is Genesis 28:10-32:2(3)
Hafttarah is Hosea 12:12-14:10
Gospel Reading Matthew 3:13-4:11
Today I am going to focus on this section: (I am using all of Chapter 14)
you have stumbled
because of your wickedness.
2 Prepare to speak
and return to the LORD;
say to the LORD,
“Forgive all wickedness;
and receive the good.
Instead of bulls,
let us offer what we can say:
3 Assyria won’t save us;
we won’t ride upon horses;
we will no longer say, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
In you the orphan finds compassion.”
I will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
he will blossom like the lily,
he will cast out his roots
like the forests of Lebanon.[b]
6 His branches will spread out;
his beauty will be like the olive tree,
and his fragrance
like that of Lebanon.
7 They will again live beneath my shadow,
they will flourish like a garden;
they will blossom like the vine,
their fragrance will be
like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, what do idols
have to do with me?
It is I who answer and look after you.
I am like a green cypress tree;
your fruit comes from me.
understands these things.
Whoever observes
carefully knows them.
Truly, the LORD’s ways are right,
and the righteous will walk in them,
but evildoers will stumble in them.

Hosea 14
A plea: Return to God
1 [a] Return, Israel, to the LORD your God;you have stumbled
because of your wickedness.
2 Prepare to speak
and return to the LORD;
say to the LORD,
“Forgive all wickedness;
and receive the good.
Instead of bulls,
let us offer what we can say:
3 Assyria won’t save us;
we won’t ride upon horses;
we will no longer say, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
In you the orphan finds compassion.”
Divine promise of healing
4 I will heal their faithlessness;I will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
he will blossom like the lily,
he will cast out his roots
like the forests of Lebanon.[b]
6 His branches will spread out;
his beauty will be like the olive tree,
and his fragrance
like that of Lebanon.
7 They will again live beneath my shadow,
they will flourish like a garden;
they will blossom like the vine,
their fragrance will be
like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, what do idols
have to do with me?
It is I who answer and look after you.
I am like a green cypress tree;
your fruit comes from me.
Be careful
9 Whoever is wiseunderstands these things.
Whoever observes
carefully knows them.
Truly, the LORD’s ways are right,
and the righteous will walk in them,
but evildoers will stumble in them.
