Hosea 13
- 1When Ephraim spoke trembling, he lifted himself up in Israel. But when he offended in Baal, he died.
- 2And now they sin more and more, and have made them metal idols 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 who sacrifice kiss the calves.
- 3Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
- 4Yet I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me. For there is no savior beside me.
- 5I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
- 6According to their pasture, so they were filled. They were filled, and their heart was lifted high. Therefore they have forgotten me.
- 7Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
- 8I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her cubs, and will tear open their chests, and there I will devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
- 9O Israel, you have destroyed yourself. But in me is your help.
- 10I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? And your judges, the ones you spoke of when you said, Give me a king and princes?
- 11I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
- 12The wrongdoing of Ephraim is bound up. His sin is hid.
- 13The sorrows of a woman in labor shall come on him: he is an unwise son. For he should not stay long at the moment of being born.
- 14I will ransom them from the power of the grave. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues. O grave, I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes.
- 15Though he is fruitful among his brothers, 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 plunder the treasure of all pleasant items.
- 16Samaria shall become ruined. For she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women pregnant shall be ripped up.
