Hosea

Chapter 12

1 Ephraim669 feedeth7462 on wind,7307 and followeth after7291 the east wind:6921 he daily3605 3117 increaseth7235 lies3577 and desolation;7701 and they do make3772 a covenant1285 with5973 the Assyrians,804 and oil8081 is carried2986 into Egypt.4714

2 The LORD3068 hath also a controversy7379 with5973 Judah,3063 and will punish6485 5921 Jacob3290 according to his ways;1870 according to his doings4611 will he recompense7725 him.

3 He took his brother by the heel6117 853 251 in the womb,990 and by his strength202 he had power8280 with854 God: 430

4 Yea, he had power8280 over413 the angel,4397 and prevailed:3201 he wept,1058 and made supplication2603 unto him: he found4672 him in Bethel,1008 and there8033 he spoke1696 with5973 us;

5 Even the LORD3068 God430 of hosts;6635 the LORD3068 is his memorial.2143

6 Therefore turn7725 thou859 to thy God:430 keep8104 mercy2617 and judgment,4941 and wait6960 on413 thy God430 continually.8548

7 He is a merchant,3667 the balances3976 of deceit4820 are in his hand:3027 he loveth157 to oppress.6231

8 And Ephraim669 said,559 Yet389 I am become rich,6238 I have found me out4672 substance:202 in all3605 my labors3018 they shall find4672 none3808 iniquity5771 in me that834 were sin.2399

9 And I595 that am the LORD3068 thy God430 from the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 will yet5750 make thee to dwell3427 in tabernacles,168 as in the days3117 of the solemn feast.4150

10 I have also spoken1696 by5921 the prophets,5030 and I595 have multiplied7235 visions,2377 and used similitudes,1819 by the ministry3027 of the prophets.5030

11 Is there iniquity205 in Gilead?1568 surely389 they are1961 vanity:7723 they sacrifice2076 bullocks7794 in Gilgal;1537 yea,1571 their altars4196 are as heaps1530 in5921 the furrows8525 of the fields.7704

12 And Jacob3290 fled1272 into the country7704 of Syria,758 and Israel3478 served5647 for a wife,802 and for a wife802 he kept8104 sheep.

13 And by a prophet5030 the LORD3068 brought5927 853 Israel3478 out of Egypt,4480 4714 and by a prophet5030 was he preserved.8104

14 Ephraim669 provoked him to anger3707 most bitterly:8563 therefore shall he leave5203 his blood1818 upon5921 him, and his reproach2781 shall his Lord113 return7725 unto him.

Hosea

Chapter 12

1 EPHRAIM feeds on wind and follows after the tempest all the day long; they have multiplied lies and prey; they have made a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

2 The LORD has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; and according to his devices will he recompense him.

3 In the womb he deceived his brother, and by his might he became great in the presence of God;

4 Yea, he prevailed over the angel, he made supplication to him; he found him in Beth-el, and there he spoke with him.

5 Even the LORD the God of hosts has remembered him.

6 Therefore return to your God; keep mercy and justice, and wait for your God continually.

7 The balances of deceit are in the hand of Canaan, he loves to oppress.

8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found grief; but all my labors will not be enough to rid me of the sin which I have sinned.

9 I am the LORD your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. I will again make you to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feasts.

10 I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions and used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.

11 In Gilead you suffered pain, and in Gilgal you sacrificed bullocks to falsehood; your altars are like dry stalks in a barren field.

12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

13 And by the prophets the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by the prophets was he preserved.

14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly; therefore his blood shall come upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him.
