Chapter 13

1


 

  When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.  

 

 

-

2


 

  And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding -- idols, A work of artizans -- all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, 'The calves let them kiss.'  

 

 

-

3


 

  Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.  

 

 

-

4


 

  And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour -- there is none save Me.  

 

 

-

5


 

  I -- I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.  

 

 

-

6


 

  According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,  

 

 

-

7


 

  And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.  

 

 

-

8


 

  I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.  

 

 

-

9


 

  And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now -- And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, 'Give to me a king and heads?'  

 

 

-

11


 

  I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,  

 

 

-

13


 

  Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.  

 

 

-

14


 

  From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his spring, It -- it spoileth a treasure -- every desirable vessel.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!
