Hosea 12 📜 📕 ↷
A Reproof of Ephraim, Judah, and Jacob
1 EPHRAIM feedeth the wind, and followeth the heat: all the day he multiplieth lying and waste: and he hath made a league with the Assyrians, and he carried oil into AEgypt.📜💬📚
2 The judgement therefore of our Lord with Juda, and visitation upon Jacob: according to his ways, & according to his inventions he will render to him.📜💬📚
3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and in his strength he was directed with the Angel.📜💬📚
4 And he prevailed against the Angel, and was strengthened: and he wept, and besought him: in Bethel he found him, and there he spake with us.📜💬📚
5 And our Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.📜💬📚
6 And thou shalt convert to thy God: keep mercy and judgement, & hope in thy God always.📜💬📚
7 Chanaan in his hand a deceitful balance, he hath loved calumny.📜💬📚
8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am made rich, I have found an idol to my self: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity, which I have sinned.📜💬📚
9 And I, the Lord thy God out of the Land of AEgypt I will yet make thee sit in tabernacles, as in the days of festivity.📜💬📚
10 And I have spoken upon the Prophets, and I have multiplied vision, and in the hand of the Prophets I have been resembled.📜💬📚
11 If an idol in Galaad, then in vain were they in Galgal immolating with oxen: for their altars also as heaps upon the furrows of the field.📜💬📚
12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept her.📜💬📚
13 But by a Prophet our Lord brought Israel out of AEgypt: and by a Prophet he was preserved.📜💬📚
14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath in his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his reproach his Lord will restore to him.📜💬📚
