Hosea 12:7
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
Ephraim feedeth on
wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2
The
L
ORD
hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4
Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him
in
Beth-el, and there he spake with us;
5
Even the
L
ORD
God of hosts; the
L
ORD
is
his memorial.
6
Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
He is
a merchant, the balances of deceit
are
in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
8
And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance:
in
all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that
were
sin.
9
And I
that am
the
L
ORD
thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10
I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11
Is there
iniquity
in
Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars
are
as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12
And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept
sheep
.
13
And by a prophet the
L
ORD
brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
14
Ephraim provoked
him
to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
