Hosea 11:12--14:9

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}
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>_.
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}
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}
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;
Even the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_;
the LORD
<03068>
[is] his memorial
<02143>_.
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>_.
[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}
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}
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>_.
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}
[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>_.
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].
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)_.
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}
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)_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
I did know
<03045> (8804)
thee in the wilderness
<04057>_,
in the land
<0776>
of great drought
<08514>_.
{great...: Heb. droughts}
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.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lion
<07826>_:
as a leopard
<05246>
by the way
<01870>
will I observe
<07789> (8799)
[them]:
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}
O Israel
<03478>_,
thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)
thyself; but in me [is] thine help
<05828>_.
{is...: Heb. in thy help}
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?}
I gave
<05414> (8799)
thee a king
<04428>
in mine anger
<0639>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
[him] away in my wrath
<05678>_.
The iniquity
<05771>
of Ephraim
<0669>
[is] bound up
<06887> (8803)_;
his sin
<02403>
[is] hid
<06845> (8803)_.
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}
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}
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}
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)_.
O Israel
<03478>_,
return
<07725> (8798)
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_;
for thou hast fallen
<03782> (8804)
by thine iniquity
<05771>_.
Take
<03947> (8798)
with you words
<01697>_,
and turn
<07725> (8798)
to the LORD
<03068>_:
say
<0559> (8798)
unto him, Take away
<05375> (8799)
all iniquity
<05771>_,
and receive
<03947> (8798)
[us] graciously
<02896>_:
so will we render
<07999> (8762)
the calves
<06499>
of our lips
<08193>_.
{receive...: or, give good}
Asshur
<0804>
shall not save
<03467> (8686)
us; we will not ride
<07392> (8799)
upon horses
<05483>_:
neither will we say
<0559> (8799)
any more to the work
<04639>
of our hands
<03027>_,
[Ye are] our gods
<0430>_:
for in thee the fatherless
<03490>
findeth mercy
<07355> (8792)_.
I will heal
<07495> (8799)
their backsliding
<04878>_,
I will love
<0157> (8799)
them freely
<05071>_:
for mine anger
<0639>
is turned away
<07725> (8804)
from him.
I will be as the dew
<02919>
unto Israel
<03478>_:
he shall grow
<06524> (8799)
as the lily
<07799>_,
and cast forth
<05221> (8686)
his roots
<08328>
as Lebanon
<03844>_.
{grow: or, blossom} {cast...: Heb. strike}
His branches
<03127>
shall spread
<03212> (8799)_,
and his beauty
<01935>
shall be as the olive tree
<02132>_,
and his smell
<07381>
as Lebanon
<03844>_.
{spread: Heb. go}
They that dwell
<03427> (8802)
under his shadow
<06738>
shall return
<07725> (8799)_;
they shall revive
<02421> (8762)
[as] the corn
<01715>_,
and grow
<06524> (8799)
as the vine
<01612>_:
the scent
<02143>
thereof [shall be] as the wine
<03196>
of Lebanon
<03844>_.
{grow: or, blossom} {scent: or, memorial}
Ephraim
<0669>
[shall say], What have I to do any more with idols
<06091>_?
I have heard
<06030> (8804)
[him], and observed
<07789> (8799)
him: I [am] like a green
<07488>
fir tree
<01265>_.
From me is thy fruit
<06529>
found
<04672> (8738)_.
Who [is] wise
<02450>_,
and he shall understand
<0995> (8799)
these [things]? prudent
<0995> (8737)_,
and he shall know
<03045> (8799)
them? for the ways
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>
[are] right
<03477>_,
and the just
<06662>
shall walk
<03212> (8799)
in them: but the transgressors
<06586> (8802)
shall fall
<03782> (8735)
therein.
