Hosea

Chapter 12

1 EPHRAIM feeds on wind and follows after the tempest all the day long; they have multiplied lies and prey; they have made a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

2 The LORD has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; and according to his devices will he recompense him.

3 In the womb he deceived his brother, and by his might he became great in the presence of God;

4 Yea, he prevailed over the angel, he made supplication to him; he found him in Beth-el, and there he spoke with him.

5 Even the LORD the God of hosts has remembered him.

6 Therefore return to your God; keep mercy and justice, and wait for your God continually.

7 The balances of deceit are in the hand of Canaan, he loves to oppress.

8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found grief; but all my labors will not be enough to rid me of the sin which I have sinned.

9 I am the LORD your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. I will again make you to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feasts.

10 I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions and used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.

11 In Gilead you suffered pain, and in Gilgal you sacrificed bullocks to falsehood; your altars are like dry stalks in a barren field.

12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

13 And by the prophets the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by the prophets was he preserved.

14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly; therefore his blood shall come upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him.

Chapter 12

1 Ephraim669 feeds7462 on wind,7307 and follows7291 after the east6921 wind: he daily3605 3117 increases7235 lies3576 and desolation;7701 and they do make3772 a covenant1285 with the Assyrians,804 and oil8081 is carried2986 into Egypt.4714

2 The LORD3068 has also a controversy7379 with Judah,3063 and will punish6485 Jacob3290 according to his ways;1870 according to his doings4611 will he recompense7725 him.

3 He took his brother251 by the heel6117 in the womb,990 and by his strength202 he had power8280 with God:430

4 Yes, he had power7786 over413 the angel,4397 and prevailed:3201 he wept,1058 and made supplication2603 to him: he found4672 him in Bethel,1008 and there8033 he spoke1696 with us;

5 Even the LORD3068 God430 of hosts;6635 the LORD3068 is his memorial.2143

6 Therefore turn7725 you to your God:430 keep8104 mercy2617 and judgment 4941and wait6960 on your God430 continually.8548

7 He is a merchant,3667 the balances3976 of deceit4820 are in his hand:3027 he loves157 to oppress.6231

8 And Ephraim669 said,559 Yet389 I am become6238 rich,6238 I have found4672 me out substance:202 in all3605 my labors3018 they shall find4672 none3808 iniquity5771 in me that were sin.2399

9 And I that am the LORD3068 your God430 from the land776 of Egypt4714 will yet5750 make you to dwell3427 in tabernacles,168 as in the days3117 of the solemn4150 feast.4150

10 I have also spoken1696 by the prophets,5030 and I have multiplied7235 visions,2377 and used similitudes,1819 by the ministry3027 of the prophets.5030

11 Is there iniquity205 in Gilead?1568 surely389 they are vanity:7723 they sacrifice2076 bullocks7794 in Gilgal;1537 yes,1571 their altars4196 are as heaps1530 in the furrows8525 of the fields.7704

12 And Jacob3290 fled1272 into the country7704 of Syria,758 and Israel3478 served5647 for a wife,802 and for a wife802 he kept8104 sheep.

13 And by a prophet5030 the LORD3068 brought5927 Israel3478 out of Egypt,4714 and by a prophet5030 was he preserved.8104

14 Ephraim669 provoked him to anger3707 most8563 bitterly:8563 therefore shall he leave5203 his blood1818 on him, and his reproach2781 shall his LORD113 return7725 to him.
