HO-13:1 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in
Israel; but when
he offended in Baal, he died.
HO-13:2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them
molten images of
their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding,
all of it the
work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that
sacrifice kiss the
calves.
HO-13:3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as
the early dew
that passeth away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the
whirlwind out of the
floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
HO-13:4 Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and
thou shalt
know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
HO-13:5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great
drought.
HO-13:6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they
were filled,
and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
HO-13:7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard
by the way will
I observe [them]:
HO-13:8 I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her
whelps], and
will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them
like a lion:
the wild beast shall tear them.
HO-13:9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is]
thine help.
HO-13:10 I will be thy king: where [is any other] that may save
thee in all
thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king
and princes?
HO-13:11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took [him] away
in my wrath.
HO-13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is]
hid.
HO-13:13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him:
he [is] an
unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the
breaking forth
of children.
HO-13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will
redeem them
from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be
thy
destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
HO-13:15 Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east
wind shall come,
the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his
spring shall
become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil
the treasure of
all pleasant vessels.
HO-13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled
against her
God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed
in pieces,
and their women with child shall be ripped up.
