# Chapter 13
|
|
1. When Ephraim spoke, trembling,
|
|
He exalted himself in Israel;
|
|
But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
|
|
|
|
2. Now they sin more and more,
|
|
And have made for themselves molded images,
|
|
Idols of their silver, according to their skill;
|
|
All of it is the work of craftsmen.
|
|
They say of them,
|
|
"Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!"
|
|
|
|
3. Therefore they shall be like the morning cloud
|
|
And like the early dew that passes away,
|
|
Like chaff blown off from a threshing floor
|
|
And like smoke from a chimney.
|
|
|
|
4. "Yet I am the Lord your God
|
|
Ever since the land of Egypt,
|
|
And you shall know no God but Me;
|
|
For there is no savior besides Me.
|
|
|
|
5. I knew you in the wilderness,
|
|
In the land of great drought.
|
|
|
|
6. When they had pasture, they were filled;
|
|
They were filled and their heart was exalted;
|
|
Therefore they forgot Me.
|
|
|
|
7. "So I will be to them like a lion;
|
|
Like a leopard by the road I will lurk;
|
|
|
|
8. I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs;
|
|
I will tear open their rib cage,
|
|
And there I will devour them like a lion.
|
|
The wild beast shall tear them.
|
|
|
|
9. "O Israel, you are destroyed,
|
|
But your help is from Me.
|
|
|
|
10. I will be your King;
|
|
Where is any other,
|
|
That he may save you in all your cities?
|
|
And your judges to whom you said,
|
|
'Give me a king and princes'?
|
|
|
|
11. I gave you a king in My anger,
|
|
And took him away in My wrath.
|
|
|
|
12. "The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
|
|
His sin is stored up.
|
|
|
|
13. The sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come upon him.
|
|
He is an unwise son,
|
|
For he should not stay long where children are born.
|
|
|
|
14. "I 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!
|
|
Pity is hidden from My eyes."
|
|
|
|
15. Though he is fruitful among his brethren,
|
|
An east wind shall come;
|
|
The wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness.
|
|
Then his spring shall become dry,
|
|
And his fountain shall be dried up.
|
|
He shall plunder the treasury of every desirable prize.
|
|
|
|
16. Samaria is held guilty,
|
|
For she has rebelled against her God.
|
|
They shall fall by the sword,
|
|
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
|
|
And their women with child ripped open.
