Hosea 11:12--13:16

11:12

Ephraim
<0669>

compasseth
<05437> (8804)

me about with lies
<03585>_,

and the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

with deceit
<04820>_:

but Judah
<03063>

yet ruleth
<07300> (8804)

with God
<0410>_,

and is faithful
<0539> (8737)

with the saints
<06918>_.

{saints: or, most holy}

12:1

Ephraim
<0669>

feedeth
<07462> (8802)

on wind
<07307>_,

and followeth
<07291> (8802)

after the east wind
<06921>_:

he daily
<03117>

increaseth
<07235> (8686)

lies
<03577>

and desolation
<07701>_;

and they do make
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with the Assyrians
<0804>_,

and oil
<08081>

is carried
<02986> (8714)

into Egypt
<04714>_.

12:2

The LORD
<03068>

hath also a controversy
<07379>

with Judah
<03063>_,

and will punish
<06485> (8800)

Jacob
<03290>

according to his ways
<01870>_;

according to his doings
<04611>

will he recompense
<07725> (8686)

him. {punish: Heb. visit upon}

12:3

He took his brother
<0251>

by the heel
<06117> (8804)

in the womb
<0990>_,

and by his strength
<0202>

he had power
<08280> (8804)

with God
<0430>_:

{had...: Heb. was a prince, or, behaved himself princely}

12:4

Yea, he had power
<07786> (8799)

over the angel
<04397>_,

and prevailed
<03201> (8799)_:

he wept
<01058> (8804)_,

and made supplication
<02603> (8691)

unto him: he found
<04672> (8799)

him [in] Bethel
<01008>_,

and there he spake
<01696> (8762)

with us;

12:5

Even the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_;

the LORD
<03068>

[is] his memorial
<02143>_.

12:6

Therefore turn
<07725> (8799)

thou to thy God
<0430>_:

keep
<08104> (8798)

mercy
<02617>

and judgment
<04941>_,

and wait
<06960> (8761)

on thy God
<0430>

continually
<08548>_.

12:7

[He is] a merchant
<03667>_,

the balances
<03976>

of deceit
<04820>

[are] in his hand
<03027>_:

he loveth
<0157> (8804)

to oppress
<06231> (8800)_.

{a merchant: or, Canaan} {oppress: or, deceive}

12:8

And Ephraim
<0669>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Yet I am become rich
<06238> (8804)_,

I have found me out
<04672> (8804)

substance
<0202>_:

[in] all my labours
<03018>

they shall find
<04672> (8799)

none iniquity
<05771>

in me that [were] sin
<02399>_.

{in all...: or, all my labours suffice me not: he shall have punishment of iniquity in whom is sin} {that: Heb. which}

12:9

And I [that am] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

will yet make thee to dwell
<03427> (8686)

in tabernacles
<0168>_,

as in the days
<03117>

of the solemn feast
<04150>_.

12:10

I have also spoken
<01696> (8765)

by the prophets
<05030>_,

and I have multiplied
<07235> (8689)

visions
<02377>_,

and used similitudes
<01819> (8762)_,

by the ministry
<03027>

of the prophets
<05030>_.

{ministry: Heb. hand}

12:11

[Is there] iniquity
<0205>

[in] Gilead
<01568>_?

surely they are vanity
<07723>_:

they sacrifice
<02076> (8765)

bullocks
<07794>

in Gilgal
<01537>_;

yea, their altars
<04196>

[are] as heaps
<01530>

in the furrows
<08525>

of the fields
<07704>_.

12:12

And Jacob
<03290>

fled
<01272> (8799)

into the country
<07704>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and Israel
<03478>

served
<05647> (8799)

for a wife
<0802>_,

and for a wife
<0802>

he kept
<08104> (8804)

[sheep].

12:13

And by a prophet
<05030>

the LORD
<03068>

brought
<05927> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and by a prophet
<05030>

was he preserved
<08104> (8738)_.

12:14

Ephraim
<0669>

provoked [him] to anger
<03707> (8689)

most bitterly
<08563>_:

therefore shall he leave
<05203> (8799)

his blood
<01818>

upon him, and his reproach
<02781>

shall his Lord
<0113>

return
<07725> (8686)

unto him. {most...: Heb. with bitternesses} {blood: Heb. bloods}

13:1

When Ephraim
<0669>

spake
<01696> (8763)

trembling
<07578>_,

he exalted
<05375> (8804)

himself in Israel
<03478>_;

but when he offended
<0816> (8799)

in Baal
<01168>_,

he died
<04191> (8799)_.

13:2

And now they sin
<02398> (8800)

more and more
<03254> (8686)_,

and have made
<06213> (8799)

them molten images
<04541>

of their silver
<03701>_,

[and] idols
<06091>

according to their own understanding
<08394>_,

all of it the work
<04639>

of the craftsmen
<02796>_:

they say
<0559> (8802)

of them, Let the men
<0120>

that sacrifice
<02076> (8802)

kiss
<05401> (8799)

the calves
<05695>_.

{they sin...: Heb. they add to sin} {the men...: or, the sacrificers of men}

13:3

Therefore they shall be as the morning
<01242>

cloud
<06051>_,

and as the early
<07925> (8688)

dew
<02919>

that passeth away
<01980> (8802)_,

as the chaff
<04671>

[that] is driven with the whirlwind
<05590> (8792)

out of the floor
<01637>_,

and as the smoke
<06227>

out of the chimney
<0699>_.

13:4

Yet I [am] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and thou shalt know
<03045> (8799)

no god
<0430>

but me
<02108>_:

for [there is] no saviour
<03467> (8688)

beside me
<01115>_.

13:5

I did know
<03045> (8804)

thee in the wilderness
<04057>_,

in the land
<0776>

of great drought
<08514>_.

{great...: Heb. droughts}

13:6

According to their pasture
<04830>_,

so were they filled
<07646> (8799)_;

they were filled
<07646> (8804)_,

and their heart
<03820>

was exalted
<07311> (8799)_;

therefore have they forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me.

13:7

Therefore I will be unto them as a lion
<07826>_:

as a leopard
<05246>

by the way
<01870>

will I observe
<07789> (8799)

[them]:

13:8

I will meet
<06298> (8799)

them as a bear
<01677>

[that is] bereaved
<07909>

[of her whelps], and will rend
<07167> (8799)

the caul
<05458>

of their heart
<03820>_,

and there will I devour
<0398> (8799)

them like a lion
<03833>_:

the wild
<07704>

beast
<02416>

shall tear
<01234> (8762)

them. {wild...: Heb. beast of the field}

13:9

O Israel
<03478>_,

thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)

thyself; but in me [is] thine help
<05828>_.

{is...: Heb. in thy help}

13:10

I will
<0165>

be thy king
<04428>_:

where
<0645>

[is any other] that may save
<03467> (8686)

thee in all thy cities
<05892>_?

and thy judges
<08199> (8802)

of whom thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

me a king
<04428>

and princes
<08269>_?

{I will...: rather, Where is thy king?}

13:11

I gave
<05414> (8799)

thee a king
<04428>

in mine anger
<0639>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

[him] away in my wrath
<05678>_.

13:12

The iniquity
<05771>

of Ephraim
<0669>

[is] bound up
<06887> (8803)_;

his sin
<02403>

[is] hid
<06845> (8803)_.

13:13

The sorrows
<02256>

of a travailing woman
<03205> (8802)

shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon him: he [is] an unwise
<02450>

son
<01121>_;

for he should not stay
<05975> (8799)

long
<06256>

in [the place of] the breaking forth
<04866>

of children
<01121>_.

{long: Heb. a time}

13:14

I will ransom
<06299> (8799)

them from the power
<03027>

of the grave
<07585>_;

I will redeem
<01350> (8799)

them from death
<04194>_:

O death
<04194>_,

I will
<0165>

be thy plagues
<01698>_;

O grave
<07585>_,

I will
<0165>

be thy destruction
<06987>_:

repentance
<05164>

shall be hid
<05641> (8735)

from mine eyes
<05869>_.

{power: Heb. hand}

13:15

Though he be fruitful
<06500> (8686)

among [his] brethren
<0251>_,

an east wind
<06921>

shall come
<0935> (8799)_,

the wind
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall come up
<05927> (8802)

from the wilderness
<04057>_,

and his spring
<04726>

shall become dry
<0954> (8799)_,

and his fountain
<04599>

shall be dried up
<02717> (8799)_:

he shall spoil
<08154> (8799)

the treasure
<0214>

of all pleasant
<02532>

vessels
<03627>_.

{pleasant...: Heb. vessels of desire}

13:16

Samaria
<08111>

shall become desolate
<0816> (8799)_;

for she hath rebelled
<04784> (8804)

against her God
<0430>_:

they shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_:

their infants
<05768>

shall be dashed in pieces
<07376> (8792)_,

and their women with child
<02030>

shall be ripped up
<01234> (8792)_.
