Chapter 12 | |
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 LORD 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 Bethel, and there he spake with us; |
5 | Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. |
6 | Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. |
7 | 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 LORD 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 LORD 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. |
