[He is] a merchant
<03667>_,

the balances
<03976>

of deceit
<04820>

[are] in his hand
<03027>_:

he loveth
<0157> (8804)

<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

<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

visions
<02377>_,

and used similitudes
<01819> (8762)_,

<03027>

of the prophets

[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>_.

<03290>

fled
<01272> (8799)

served
<05647> (8799)

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}
