HO-12:1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east
wind: he daily
increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with
the
Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
HO-12:2 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will
punish Jacob
according to his ways; according to his doings will he
recompense him.
HO-12:3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his
strength he
had power with God:
HO-12:4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he
wept, and made
supplication unto him: he found him [in] Bethel, and there he
spake with us;
HO-12:5 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD [is] his memorial.
HO-12:6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment,
and wait on
thy God continually.
HO-12:7 [He is] a merchant, the balances of deceit [are] in his
hand: he
loveth to oppress.
HO-12:8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me
out
substance: [in] all my labours they shall find none iniquity in
me that [were]
sin.
HO-12:9 And I [that am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt
will yet make
thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
HO-12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have
multiplied visions,
and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
HO-12:11 [Is there] iniquity [in] Gilead? surely they are
vanity: they
sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars [are] as heaps
in the furrows
of the fields.
HO-12:12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel
served for a
wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].
HO-12:13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt,
and by a
prophet was he preserved.
HO-12:14 Ephraim provoked [him] to anger most bitterly:
therefore shall he
leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return
unto him.
