Hosea 13:1-15

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}
