1 # Ephraim <0669> feedeth <07462> (8802) on wind <07307>, and followeth <07291> (8802) after the east wind <06921>: he daily <03117> increaseth <07235> (8686) lies <03577> and desolation <07701>; and they do make <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with the Assyrians <0804>, and oil <08081> is carried <02986> (8714) into Egypt <04714> .
2 The LORD <03068> hath also a controversy <07379> with Judah <03063>, and will punish <06485> (8800) Jacob <03290> according to his ways <01870>; according to his doings <04611> will he recompense <07725> (8686) him.
3 He took his brother <0251> by the heel <06117> (8804) in the womb <0990>, and by his strength <0202> he had power <08280> (8804) with God <0430>:
4 Yea, he had power <07786> (8799) over the angel <04397>, and prevailed <03201> (8799): he wept <01058> (8804), and made supplication <02603> (8691) unto him: he found <04672> (8799) him in Bethel <01008>, and there he spake <01696> (8762) with us;
5 Even the LORD <03068> God <0430> of hosts <06635>; the LORD <03068> is his memorial <02143>.
6 Therefore turn <07725> (8799) thou to thy God <0430>: keep <08104> (8798) mercy <02617> and judgment <04941>, and wait <06960> (8761) on thy God <0430> continually <08548>.
7 # He is a merchant <03667>, the balances <03976> of deceit <04820> are in his hand <03027>: he loveth <0157> (8804) to oppress <06231> (8800).
8 And Ephraim <0669> said <0559> (8799), Yet I am become rich <06238> (8804), I have found me out <04672> (8804) substance <0202>: in all my labours <03018> they shall find <04672> (8799) none iniquity <05771> in me that were sin <02399>.
9 And I that am the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> will yet make thee to dwell <03427> (8686) in tabernacles <0168>, as in the days <03117> of the solemn feast <04150>.
10 I have also spoken <01696> (8765) by the prophets <05030>, and I have multiplied <07235> (8689) visions <02377>, and used similitudes <01819> (8762), by the ministry <03027> of the prophets <05030>.
11 Is there iniquity <0205> in Gilead <01568>? surely they are vanity <07723>: they sacrifice <02076> (8765) bullocks <07794> in Gilgal <01537>; yea, their altars <04196> are as heaps <01530> in the furrows <08525> of the fields <07704>.
12 And Jacob <03290> fled <01272> (8799) into the country <07704> of Syria <0758>, and Israel <03478> served <05647> (8799) for a wife <0802>, and for a wife <0802> he kept <08104> (8804) sheep.
13 And by a prophet <05030> the LORD <03068> brought <05927> (8689) Israel <03478> out of Egypt <04714> , and by a prophet <05030> was he preserved <08104> (8738).
14 Ephraim <0669> provoked him to anger <03707> (8689) most bitterly <08563>: therefore shall he leave <05203> (8799) his blood <01818> upon him, and his reproach <02781> shall his Lord <0113> return <07725> (8686) unto him.
