Hosea 13:1-5

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}
