- 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

- 14:5 I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

- 14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
- 14:8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is your fruit found.

- 12:3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:

- 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

- 11:3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
- 11:4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat to them.
- 11:5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
- 11:6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

- 10:1 Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
- 10:2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
- 10:3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
- 10:4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
- 10:5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
- 10:6 It shall be also carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
- 10:7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam on the water.
- 10:8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

- 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness on you.
- 10:13 You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
- 10:14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces on her children.

- 9:1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for you have gone a whoring from your God, you have loved a reward on every corn floor.
- 9:2 The floor and the wine press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
- 9:3 They shall not dwell in the LORD’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
- 9:4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
- 9:5 What will you do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
- 9:6 For, see, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
- 9:7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of your iniquity, and the great hatred.
- 9:8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
- 9:9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
- 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves to that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
- 9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
- 9:12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!
- 9:13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
- 9:14 Give them, O LORD: what will you give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
- 9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebels.
- 9:16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
- 9:17 My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

- 8:1 Set the trumpet to your mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
- 8:2 Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know you.
- 8:3 Israel has cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
- 8:4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
- 8:5 Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocence?
- 8:6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
- 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it has no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
- 8:8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
- 8:9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim has hired lovers.
- 8:10 Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
- 8:11 Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
- 8:12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
- 8:13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepts them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
- 8:14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples; and Judah has multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

- 7:1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.
- 7:2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
- 7:3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
- 7:4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceases from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
- 7:5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
- 7:6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
- 7:7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calls to me.
- 7:8 Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
- 7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knows it not: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows not.
- 7:10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
- 7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
- 7:12 When they shall go, I will spread my net on them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
- 7:13 Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
- 7:14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled on their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
- 7:15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
- 7:16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

- 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.
- 6:4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.
- 6:5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and your judgments are as the light that goes forth.
- 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
- 6:7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
- 6:8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
- 6:9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
- 6:10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
- 6:11 Also, O Judah, he has set an harvest for you, when I returned the captivity of my people.

- 5:1 Hear you this, O priests; and listen, you house of Israel; and give you ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
- 5:2 And the rebels are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
- 5:3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, you commit prostitution, and Israel is defiled.
- 5:4 They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of prostitutions is in the middle of them, and they have not known the LORD.
- 5:5 And the pride of Israel does testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.
- 5:6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them.
- 5:7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
- 5:8 Blow you the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after you, O Benjamin.
- 5:9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
- 5:10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
- 5:11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
- 5:12 Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
- 5:13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
- 5:14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
- 5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
