EphraimH669 feedsH7462 on wind,H7307 and followsH7291 after the eastH6921 wind: he dailyH3605 H3117 increasesH7235 liesH3576 and desolation;H7701 and they do makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the Assyrians,H804 and oilH8081 is carriedH2986 into Egypt.H4714
2
The LORDH3068 has also a controversyH7379 with Judah,H3063 and will punishH6485 JacobH3290 according to his ways;H1870 according to his doingsH4611 will he recompenseH7725 him.
3
He took his brotherH251 by the heelH6117 in the womb,H990 and by his strengthH202 he had powerH8280 with God:H430
4
Yes, he had powerH7786 overH413 the angel,H4397 and prevailed:H3201 he wept,H1058 and made supplicationH2603 to him: he foundH4672 him in Bethel,H1008 and thereH8033 he spokeH1696 with us;
5
Even the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hosts;H6635 the LORDH3068 is his memorial.H2143
6
Therefore turnH7725 you to your God:H430 keepH8104 mercyH2617 and judgment H4941and waitH6960 on your GodH430 continually.H8548
7
He is a merchant,H3667 the balancesH3976 of deceitH4820 are in his hand:H3027 he lovesH157 to oppress.H6231
8
And EphraimH669 said,H559 YetH389 I am becomeH6238 rich,H6238 I have foundH4672 me out substance:H202 in allH3605 my laborsH3018 they shall findH4672 noneH3808 iniquityH5771 in me that were sin.H2399
9
And I that am the LORDH3068 your GodH430 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will yetH5750 make you to dwellH3427 in tabernacles,H168 as in the daysH3117 of the solemnH4150 feast.H4150
10
I have also spokenH1696 by the prophets,H5030 and I have multipliedH7235 visions,H2377 and used similitudes,H1819 by the ministryH3027 of the prophets.H5030
11
Is there iniquityH205 in Gilead?H1568 surelyH389 they are vanity:H7723 they sacrificeH2076 bullocksH7794 in Gilgal;H1537 yes,H1571 their altarsH4196 are as heapsH1530 in the furrowsH8525 of the fields.H7704
12
And JacobH3290 fledH1272 into the countryH7704 of Syria,H758 and IsraelH3478 servedH5647 for a wife,H802 and for a wifeH802 he keptH8104 sheep.
13
And by a prophetH5030 the LORDH3068 broughtH5927 IsraelH3478 out of Egypt,H4714 and by a prophetH5030 was he preserved.H8104
14
EphraimH669 provoked him to angerH3707 mostH8563 bitterly:H8563 therefore shall he leaveH5203 his bloodH1818 on him, and his reproachH2781 shall his LORDH113 returnH7725 to him.
