Hosea 13:1--14:9

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)_.

14:1

O Israel
<03478>_,

return
<07725> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_;

for thou hast fallen
<03782> (8804)

by thine iniquity
<05771>_.

14:2

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}

14:3

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)_.

14:4

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.

14:5

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}

14:6

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}

14:7

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}

14:8

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)_.

14:9

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.
