[1] Ephraim feeds on wind,
and chases the east wind.
He continually multiplies lies and desolation.
They make a covenant with Assyria,
and oil is carried into Egypt.
[2] Yahweh also has a controversy with Judah,
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
according to his deeds he will repay him.
[3] In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
and in his manhood he contended with God.
[4] Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed;
he wept, and made supplication to him.
He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us—
[5] even Yahweh, the God of Armies.
Yahweh is his name of renown!
[6] Therefore turn to your God.
Keep kindness and justice,
and wait continually for your God. [7] A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand.
He loves to defraud.
[8] Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich.
I have found myself wealth.
In all my wealth they won’t find in me any iniquity that is sin.” [9] “But I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt.
I will yet again make you dwell in tents,
as in the days of the solemn feast.
[10] I have also spoken to the prophets,
and I have multiplied visions;
and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.
[11] If Gilead is wicked,
surely they are worthless.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls.
Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.
[12] Jacob fled into the country of Aram.
Israel served to get a wife.
For a wife he tended flocks and herds.
[13] By a prophet Yahweh brought Israel up out of Egypt,
and by a prophet he was preserved.
[14] Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger.
Therefore his blood will be left on him,
and his Lord§ will repay his contempt.

[3] He took his brotherH251 by the heelH6117(QalPerf) in the womb,H990 and by his strengthH202 he had powerH8280(QalPerf) with God:H430 [4] Yea, he had powerH7786(QalImpf) over the angel,H4397 and prevailed:H3201(QalImpf) he wept,H1058(QalPerf) and made supplicationH2603(HithImpf) unto him: he foundH4672(QalImpf) him [in] Bethel,H1008 and there he spakeH1696(PielImpf) with us; [5] Even the LordH3068 GodH430 of hosts;H6635 the LordH3068 [is] his memorial.H2143 [6] Therefore turnH7725(QalImpf) thou to thy God:H430 keepH8104(QalImpv) mercyH2617 and judgment,H4941 and waitH6960(PielImpv) on thy GodH430 continually.H8548 [7] [He is] a merchant,H3667 the balancesH3976 of deceitH4820 [are] in his hand:H3027 he lovethH157(QalPerf) to oppress.H6231(QalInf) [8] And EphraimH669 said,H559(QalImpf) Yet I am become rich,H6238(QalPerf) I have found me outH4672(QalPerf) substance:H202 [in] all my laboursH3018 they shall findH4672(QalImpf) none iniquityH5771 in me that [were] sin.H2399 [9] And I [that am] the LordH3068 thy GodH430 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will yet make thee to dwellH3427(HiphImpf) in tabernacles,H168 as in the daysH3117 of the solemn feast.H4150 [10] I have also spokenH1696(PielPerf) by the prophets,H5030 and I have multipliedH7235(HiphPerf) visions,H2377 and used similitudes,H1819(PielImpf) by the ministryH3027 of the prophets.H5030 [11] [Is there] iniquityH205 [in] Gilead?H1568 surely they are vanity:H7723 they sacrificeH2076(PielPerf) bullocksH7794 in Gilgal;H1537 yea, their altarsH4196 [are] as heapsH1530 in the furrowsH8525 of the fields.H7704 [12] And JacobH3290 fledH1272(QalImpf) into the countryH7704 of Syria,H758 and IsraelH3478 servedH5647(QalImpf) for a wife,H802 and for a wifeH802 he keptH8104(QalPerf) [sheep]. [13] And by a prophetH5030 the LordH3068 broughtH5927(HiphPerf) IsraelH3478 out of Egypt,H4714 and by a prophetH5030 was he preserved.H8104(NiphPerf) [14] EphraimH669 provoked [him] to angerH3707(HiphPerf) most bitterly:H8563 therefore shall he leaveH5203(QalImpf) his bloodH1818 upon him, and his reproachH2781 shall his LordH113 returnH7725(HiphImpf) unto him.
