Hosea 12
- 1Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and ruin. And they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
- 2The Lord has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways. According to his actions will he repay him.
- 3He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
- 4Yes, he had power over the angel, and won: he wept, and pleaded to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
- 5Even the Lord God of hosts. The Lord is his memorial.
- 6Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God continually.
- 7He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
- 8And Ephraim said, Yet I have become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labors they shall find none wrongdoing in me that were sin.
- 9And I that am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to live in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
- 10I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used pictures, by the ministry of the prophets.
- 11Is there wrongdoing in Gilead? Surely they are only a breath: they sacrifice young bulls in Gilgal. Yes, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
- 12And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
- 13And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
- 14Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore he shall leave his blood on him, and his Lord will pay him back for his contempt.
