| 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). |
