The LORD's Anger against Israel
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 13
|
|
1. When the tribe of Ephraim spoke,
|
|
the people shook with fear,
|
|
for that tribe was important in Israel.
|
|
But the people of Ephraim sinned by worshiping Baal
|
|
and thus sealed their destruction.
|
|
|
|
2. Now they continue to sin by making silver idols,
|
|
images shaped skillfully with human hands.
|
|
"Sacrifice to these," they cry,
|
|
"and kiss the calf idols!"
|
|
|
|
3. Therefore, they will disappear like the morning mist,
|
|
like dew in the morning sun,
|
|
like chaff blown by the wind,
|
|
like smoke from a chimney.
|
|
|
|
4. "I have been the LORD your God
|
|
ever since I brought you out of Egypt.
|
|
You must acknowledge no God but me,
|
|
for there is no other savior.
|
|
|
|
5. I took care of you in the wilderness,
|
|
in that dry and thirsty land.
|
|
|
|
6. But when you had eaten and were satisfied,
|
|
you became proud and forgot me.
|
|
|
|
7. So now I will attack you like a lion,
|
|
like a leopard that lurks along the road.
|
|
|
|
8. Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away,
|
|
I will tear out your heart.
|
|
I will devour you like a hungry lioness
|
|
and mangle you like a wild animal.
|
|
|
|
9. "You are about to be destroyed, O Israel--
|
|
yes, by me, your only helper.
|
|
|
|
10. Now where is your king?
|
|
Let him save you!
|
|
Where are all the leaders of the land,
|
|
the king and the officials you demanded of me?
|
|
|
|
11. In my anger I gave you kings,
|
|
and in my fury I took them away.
|
|
|
|
12. "Ephraim's guilt has been collected,
|
|
and his sin has been stored up for punishment.
|
|
|
|
13. Pain has come to the people
|
|
like the pain of childbirth,
|
|
but they are like a child
|
|
who resists being born.
|
|
The moment of birth has arrived,
|
|
but they stay in the womb!
|
|
|
|
14. "Should I ransom them from the grave?
|
|
Should I redeem them from death?
|
|
O death, bring on your terrors!
|
|
O grave, bring on your plagues!
|
|
For I will not take pity on them.
|
|
|
|
15. Ephraim was the most fruitful of all his brothers,
|
|
but the east wind--a blast from the LORD--
|
|
will arise in the desert.
|
|
All their flowing springs will run dry,
|
|
and all their wells will disappear.
|
|
Every precious thing they own
|
|
will be plundered and carried away.
|
|
|
|
16. The people of Samaria
|
|
must bear the consequences of their guilt
|
|
because they rebelled against their God.
|
|
They will be killed by an invading army,
|
|
their little ones dashed to death against the ground,
|
|
their pregnant women ripped open by swords."
